Windows 10: Windows 10 corrupted after failed update — DISM fails, BSODs, USB issues 0x800703f1

Hi everyone,I’m losing my mind over this. Since a Windows update that got interrupted probably power cut during install, my PC has become unstable: Windows Update won’t work error 0x800703f1, DISM fails with error 0x800f081f even when using correct source files, SFC can’t fully repair, and I get frequent BSODs MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION.On top of that, my Logitech G29 wheel stopped working and shows a warning icon in Device Manager.Here are my specs:ASUS System Product Name generic modelWindows 10 Pro Build 19045Intel 11th Gen Core i5-11600K @ 3.90GHz 6 cores / 12 threadsASUS ROG STRI

Windows 10 fails to update


When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.

Thanks,

The Users list compared to the Profile list you posted earlier tell me there is not an issue with Users (a known issue where there is a profile in the list, but not actual User folder).

The error code suggests corruption in the CBS manifest:
Try these steps one at time until the issue is resolved or you run out of steps.
