I still haven't done the forced crash, apologies for that. I got busy with the semester and didn't want to risk it, and the intermittent update failures were not seriously interfering with my ability to function. But lately Windows has installed an Update Assistant that is no more successful in completing updates, and it's insisting on restarts a lot more frequently, which is a major nuisance. Most recently when I watched the update process (earlier today), it stalled at 33%, restarted, and reverted to the older version of Windows. The error code the Assistant gives me is 0x80070652. Right now, I'd just be happy with a way to just stop the updater from forcing a restart as often as it has been.

It sounds as if your PC is repeatedly trying to upgrade to the next build and failing.

As an interim measure, you could disable Windows updates temporarily, or hide the upgrade (same terminology as Win 7), using Windows Update Minitool (free, easy to find). Use that to scan for the upgrade, then use it to hide the upgrade.

While I'm on the update tool, I thought I'd share this in case it proves helpful.

A little over 2 months passed since the last communication.
Please perform all of the tests / steps in post #31 and post images into the thread.
If there are problems posting images please use one drive or drop box share links.
The computer can be tuned up and then an upgrade attempted to get new error messages and error codes.
Alternatively a backup image can be made followed by a clean install.
If the troubleshooting is preferred please post new results for any of the steps that were done 2 months ago and please post results for any of the steps that were not yet completed.

1) For startup and recovery system failure:
a) un-check automatically restart
b) change write debugging information from small memory dump to automatic memory dump
c) make sure the write debugging information no longer displays mini dump and now displays memory dump

2) Backup all files to another drive or to the cloud
3) Make a backup image using Macrium:
Macrium Software | Macrium Reflect Free
4) Make a brand new restore point

5) In post #31 start with step # 10 after making changes in this post (step #1)

Borromaeus · 08 Mar 2018

I'm in the process. Macrium Reflect says it'll take until tomorrow morning or so to complete (hope I set it up correctly--I just went with all the defaults), but I'll try to do steps #10-12 tomorrow afternoon.

In the future if there is:
a) Malware
b) failure to boot
c) operating system corruption
d) registry corruption
etc
