Jimbo,
What does SFC have to say?
SFC-DISM - TenForumsTutorials
- Option 3 is the appropriate one
- If it finds problems then the note at the end of Option 3 warns you to connect to the internet before using its suggested Dism command.
- If problems remain then post the SFC log extract shown in Option 5. Or just use this after adjusting it for a convenient folder of your choosing in place of my D:\Desktop
Code:system32\findstr.exe /c:"[SR] Cannot repair member file" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"D:\Desktop\%ComputerName%-SFCResults-Unrepairables.Log""

Jimbo,
Just by way of comparison, I am on
Windows 10 Home x64 Version 20H2 Build 19042.804
WD Version 4.18.2102.3
I just ran WDO and it worked correctly. Its log file indicated that it completed with no errors.

Added 90 mins later - and I've just seen that WD Version 4.18.2102.4 is available. It should be included the next time you [automatically or manually] check for WD definitions updates.

Jimbo,
OK. Part of your description reminded me of an issue from a couple of years ago but SFC also contained evidence of the problem so it is evidently not the same issue.
Is your WD on Version 4.18.2102.4 yet? Does that make any difference?
- It should be included the next time you [automatically or manually] check for WD definitions updates.
- I saw a notification of this 'platform' update only a couple of hours ago and it might take a while to be released everywhere.

Jimbo,
If SFC says no issues found then I do not think it would be worth your time to look through any logs manually.

Ok. I give up. Clean install has already begun.

Why is this black screen making me think something has gone awry. Maybe it’s downloading stuff. A little HDD activity it not much. This was after all the setup questions were completed. I got a black screen with a mouse cursor for more than 30 minutes.
Oh dear. I assume you have tried rebooting [whilst connected to the internet] already so that Windows update can search for the correct display driver.
Perhaps there is guidance in Clean Install - TenForumsTutorials
If not, try asking in that thread.
