Remove all the files mentioned and registry entries. RESTART is mandatory for the changes in registry to work.
Do the manual or MonarchX way no matter.
so to recapitulate:
all the instances of FILES:
C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-TestRoot-and-FlightSigning-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.15063.0.cat
C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-TestRoot-and-FlightSigning-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.15063.0.mum
C:\Windows\System32\CatRoot\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}\Microsoft-Windows-TestRoot-and-FlightSigning-WOW64-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.15063.0.cat
C:\Windows\System32\CatRoot\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}\Microsoft-Windows-TestRoot-and-FlightSigning-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.15063.0.cat
and registry KEYS:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-TestRoot-and-FlightSigning-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.15063.0]
and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\PackageIndex\Microsoft-Windows-TestRoot-and-FlightSigning-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~0.0.0.0]
If used MonarcshX way
under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\CatalogsToUninstall
all Microsoft-Windows-TestRoot-and-FlightSigning related keys are to be deleted after first reboot.
Reboot.
DO
dism /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
Now do
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
If not successful do SFC /SCANNOW if it works
repeat DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
or better
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:WIM:Path to\install.wim:1 /LimitAccess
If still not ok
Reboot to recovery mode CMD amd run
sfc /SCANNOW /OFFBOOTDIR=c:\ /OFFWINDIR=c:\Windows (check the drive letters first with DISKPART)
And than try either
dism /mount-image /imagefile:F:\sources\install.wim /index:1 /mountdir:C:\mount
Where F is dvd drive with windows dvd plus:
Dism /Image:C:\offline /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:c:\mount\windows
do not forget to dismount the image when finished
or simply try this first
Dism /Image:C:\offline /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:WIM:full path to\install.wim:1 /LimitAccess
You probably have more errors than just Creators update one.
AND USE THE 1703 INSTALL IMAGE!!! not the older one, and try that to be MSDN one, not Windows media creation one, they tend to fail in this job!
Hope you never have to reinstall windows again!
If you feel up to it you can use THIS to remove the offending packages from the iso (wim in the iso) too and repack the clean instalation iso for future use and you can also integrate latter updates with NTlite if need be...
