    Not sure what you wanted to see from the DISM list but here's the last bit, ran on C:

    In case there was a problem with Windows updates you can run a command to uninstall the latest package.


    dism /online /remove-package /packagenameackage_for_UUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

    (the webpage created a yellow smile face so this is the command with wider spaces:
    packagename : package _ for _ UUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
    (so there is e followed by colon followed by p without any spaces)

    replace UUUUUUUUUUUUUUU with the package name, for example: KB978262-31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.1.0

    reboot


    There are some additional commands that can be run in Windows RE to attempt to fix Windows.

    Previously regback was able to fix Windows but since Windows 1809 Microsoft stopped the default regback.
    It would have had to have been set manually.

    So if the removal of the latest package fails there are just a few steps left before a custom or clean install.

    Yes, use the date.

    It may not allow you to remove any packages.
    It is a trial and error step.

    For each boot you must type:
    C:
    dir
    D:
    dir
    to determine which drive letter corresponds to the windows drive in Windows RE.
    It can change with each reboot.

    When running the commands you will need to know the windows drive letter or the windows 10 iso flash drive letter.

    For the flash drive letter run:
    diskpark
    lis dis
    lis vol
    sel dis 0
    lis par
    exit

    dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:M:\sources\install.esd
    dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:M:\sources\install.wim
    (change the drive letter M to the windows 10 iso drive letter)

    Sorry for the lack of update. I decided it wasn't worth the goose chase and now I'm reinstalling windows. Though, after the installer restarted my computer, i still got a BCD error on the default boot device. I switched to a different boot device and now it's on the "getting ready" phase. Been about 30 mins, starting to get worried...

    Did you delete all partitions making an unallocated drive?

    I deleted all partitions except the one that contained all my user files. It gave me the pop-up that my files would be moved to the windows.old folder
