I am very used to these commands as the affected PC was OEM 8 and updated all the way through 8.1's to WIN 10. It was a constant battle keeping WU working as the component store kept having issues. Was home originally but I bought the 8.1 pro key from the MS store. I use Windows Defender and it says no issues. I disabled it and downloaded Malwarebytes and it also found no issues. Will try the dISM strings again tonight but at this point I do not have the esd version as I normally try to download wim's instead. Media Creation Tool is now failing to work to download the esd version. Cleaned my temp files to make sure space was not the issue but still a no-go. As I recalled Bree has downloaded wim's from MS using Safari. I found how to change the user string(F12 button to access developer tools and the drop down menu for Safari) in Edge to do this and downloaded it. Win 10 download page must be open first and it will change allowing you to proceed without MCT. It worked but the download has a install.wim file instead of esd. Win 10 1709 .16299.19 downloaded. I used the "get wim info command string to verify this. I tried DISM with meted connection off Sunday and while attempting it MS downloaded yet another update after I had uninstalled the last two to get back to 16299.19 as the Heidoc download was the that version/edition and I hoped uninstalling them might fix the issue to no avail.
