    First install - Windows failed to start


    Hello,

    I have just finshed building a PC and I ran into trouble while trying to install Windows.

    I bought a BOX version of Windows 10 which came on a USB stick.

    I changed the boot order in BIOS,
    I go to the Windows Boot Manager screen,
    I choose "Windows 10 64 bit setup".
    It's "loading files", after that I see the Windows logo for a brief moment and then the error pops up.

    Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.

    File: \Windows\System32\Drivers\tcpip.sys

    Status:0xc0000098

    Info: The operating system couldn't be loaded because a critical system driver is missing or contains errors



    When I try to install the 32 bit version, a different error pops up:



    File: \Windows\System32\boot\winload.efi

    Status:0xc0000359

    Info: The operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors

    My specs:
    MB: MSI Z370 Tomahawk
    i7-8700 3.20Ghz
    Gigabyte GTX 1080
    16GB GoodRam IRD X 3000mhz
    PSU: Gigabyte B700H 700w
    1TB HDD Toshiba

    I have tried every USB port to no avail.

    Tomorrow I will try to install this Windows on a different PC to see if it's a faulty USB stick.

    I would appreciate your help. Do you guys have any idea what could cause this problem or what should I do?

    :)

    First install - Windows failed to start

    Windows Updates failed to instal

    I'm not sure how differant XP media center Edition is but you could clear the history \ cache if these folders are there.

    Step 1 Register DLL files.

    =================

    By trying this step, we can check if the update engines are working properly.



    1. Close all instances of Internet Explorer.

    2. Click Start and Run, type "Regsvr32 atl.dll" (without quotes) in the Open box and click OK.



    Note: There is a space between regsvr32 and atl.dll



    3. Similarly, one by one, register the files listed below:



    Regsvr32 msxml3.dll

    Regsvr32 wuapi.dll

    Regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

    Regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll

    Regsvr32 wups2.dll

    Regsvr32 wucltui.dll

    Regsvr32 wups.dll

    Regsvr32 wuweb.dll

    Regsvr32 qmgr.dll

    Regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll

    Regsvr32 jscript.dll



    Note: If you encounter errors while registering any of these files then skip that file and continue with the next one.



    If the issue persists, let's move on to the steps below to verify Windows Update services and temporary folders.



    Step 2 Verify the relevant Windows Update services.

    =========================================

    1. Click Start->Run, type "services.msc" (without quotation marks) in the open box and click OK.

    2. Double click the service "Automatic Updates".

    3. Click on the Log On tab, please ensure the option "Local System account" is selected and the option "Allow service to interact with desktop" is unchecked.

    4. Check if this service has been enabled on the listed Hardware Profile. If not, please click the Enable button to enable it.

    5. Click on the tab "General "; make sure the "Startup Type" is "Automatic" or "Manual". Then please click the button "Stop" under "Service Status" to stop the service.

    6. Then please click the button "Start" under "Service Status" to start the service.

    7. Please repeat the above steps with the other services:



    Background Intelligent Transfer Service

    Event Log

    Remote Procedure Call (RPC)



    Note: Event log service is enabled on all of the hardware profiles; this service does not have an option to enable or disable on certain hardware profile.



    If it still does not help, let's proceed to step 3.



    Step 3 Reload the Update temporary folders.

    ===================================

    One possible cause is that the temporary folder for Windows Update is containing corrupted files. Let's erase all the files there to get the system clean.



    1. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.



    Net stop WuAuServ



    2. Click Start, Run, type: %windir% and press Enter.

    3. In the opened folder, rename the folder SoftwareDistribution to Sdold.

    4. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.



    Net start WuAuServ



    Please test the Windows Update website and let me know the result. If the issue persists, to clarify the issue and provide more accurate troubleshooting steps, please assist me in collecting the following information.
