    You guys make me blush but thank you.
    The old version from tech bench should work as I am using it.
    Steve's suggestion is the same as if you mount the install.wim.
    If all else fails, try to copy just the install.wim to desktop then from admin command, copy and paste then run:
    1. Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
    2. Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
    3. DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:WIM:%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess


    NOTE:
    #1 will take a while to run.

    I attempted this:

    Download the the Installation ISO: Windows 10 Download - Tech Bench
    1.Mount the ISO and copy install.wim from the source folder to Desktop
    2.Create a folder on desktop: mount

    Open Admin Command prompt, copy/paste each line and run:
    1.Dism /mount-wim /wimFile:%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\install.wim /index:1 /MountDir:%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\mount

    ...but get an error:

    Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
    Version: 10.0.10586.0
    Error: 2
    The system cannot find the file specified.


    I tried it by using the command as is and replacing
    %USERPROFILE% with my profile 'NVision4D'.

    I'll try this now:
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:WIM:%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess

    Looking at this: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:WIM:%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess
    does it matter that the 'Temp' folder I created is not in the string? And, should I leave %USERPROFILE% or replace it?

    Edit:
    It appears not, it's running now.

    I did. Same result same error.

    You mentioned that #1 would take a while to run. I only takes about 2-seconds to return this:
    ----------------------------------
    C:\WINDOWS\system32>Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup


    Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool

    [=========== 20.0% ]
    The operation completed successfully.
    --------------------------------

    Is this an indication that it failed to run properly because it only took 2-seconds even though it says "successfully?"

    I've read thru this thread this evening - all 37 pages. Fascinating.
    When reading the discussion of .wim and .esd as component sources for DISM and their minor build upgrade numbers e.g. 10586.164, and how to tell what the version from techbench was, there's a way to find out, if you have 7-zip and regedit.

    Pictures speak volumes so here's the Regedit from my current OS - the full key path is visible in the screenshot - note the last entry UBR, value 164:

    Windows takes two hours to boot every reboot. Goes to spinning circles-screenshot-40-.png

    Now I have the slow ring update to build 14295 waiting on my drive to be installed, so navigating to J:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Install.ESD, and right-clicking 7-zip to open the archive,
    I could check the [1].xml to see what the 4 indexed images contained:

    Now if that wasn't enough, I opened image 4 within 7-zip, navigated to J:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Install.esd\4\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE - the software hive of the 14295 Windows image, copied it to my Documents folder, and from Regedit, imported the hive as 14295, and voila:

    Windows takes two hours to boot every reboot. Goes to spinning circles-screenshot-41-.png

    The current version build properties in all their glory - in this case UBR value is 1000.

    Hope this proves helpful.

    One item of hardware that is often overlooked is/are Optical Drives - yet they are checked at POST, and loaded before bootup, often when they are when they are inactive and unloaded, or at other times, they are running with the bootable media for an install or a utility to troubleshoot a problem state. They may be in one of several different states of operation at different times.

    But they are almost the only mechanical device with somewhat exposed parts left in modern computers, with the exception of keyboards, and mechanical devices fail in many ways.

    I had a laptop that developed a problem - it started to take abnormally long to boot, and various odd glitches developed, and after weeks of searching, the DVD ribbon cable connecting the case to the carriage of the drive was observed to have kinks, some of which had rubbed off the insulating coating and were shorting to the aluminium case of the drive. Once the drive had been taken out, all of the problems vanished.

    They should be disconnected (easy enough even with most laptops!) and tests run to check out whether they are a problem, when there are intractable errors found on a system.

    MSINFO32 is also a useful tool in conjunction with Device Manager, and Task Manager showing the resource graphs for CPU. There is a section which deals with IRQ Conflicts and IRQ sharing. Often 2 devices will share one IRQ, sometimes 3. Disabling each device in a triplet in turn in Device Manager and watching the resources change may indicate a conflict. It can also be done for pairs of devices.

    I've read thru this thread this evening - all 37 pages. Fascinating.
    It thrills me that there are people like you guys who find this "fascinating." I know more about this deeper computer stuff than the average guy but not much more. I find it interesting and it gives me comfort that you guys who find this fascinating will be here when the rest of us are gone. You know how it all fits together. I just know tiny disjointed bits and pieces. I have to learn enough to keep my machines running so I can do what fascinates me, CGI.

    Having said that, I need to work and have to call it a day on this issue. We tried a lot of things but were unable to solve the problem. If I were never to peek under the hood or try to run 'sfc' you'd never know there was a problem. Nothing is currently malfunctioning and my machine is behaving nicely. However, I do realize that small issues can grow if left alone or ignored. One thing I cannot entertain doing is reinstall Windows right now in any way that would require me to reinstall all of my software.

    I have no less than 30 programs that are authorized and it takes me about two weeks to recover. I have to avoid that at all costs. So, if you run across anything that I can try to get DISM to complete, I'll try anything. I do want to solve it.

    Because everything we tried today generated the same Error:1392, I have to assume that something else is hanging things up. It's not where the 'install.wim' file resides. We tried it in various places, all with the same end result. Something else is common to all of the failures, something we haven't thought of yet or explored. But, I don't have the breadth of knowledge to diagnose it. All I can do is make crude guesses like this one.

    Let me know if you think of anything. And, the fact that you guys find this fascinating gives me hope that you'll figure out some brilliant way to solve this issue. Then we can have a party, I'll buy the beer...

    I do need one thing. I need to delete this 'mount' folder from my desktop. Right click does not offer me 'eject' like when I mount an ISO to a drive letter. When I try to delete it I'm told it needs permission and I'm logged in as an Administrator. I don't know how to delete it.
