Windows 10: Windows 10 1803 update fails BSOD/ mediacreationtool1803.exe does not produce viable...

While attempting to update a computer from 1709 to 1803 Windows 10 Pro, I downloaded the mediacreationtool1803.exe from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 and attempted to use it install the 1803 update as Windows update and the Update Assitant both repeatedly failed, even after troubleshooting updates, DISM, sfc, etc.


After using the media creation tool, the computer went to BSOD after restart (CRITICAL_SERVICE_FAILED)


Automatic repair fails.


Used the media creation tool to create a USB installation media for repair purposes. Shen starting up from the USB installation media, Windows 10 startup fails to BSOD (File: \windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe Error Code 0xc0000098).


Honestly, there seems to be a problem with the mediacreationtool1803.exe

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.

 

Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

When in win10:

• Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
- Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.
