I also disabled Windows Search, cleaned up the \Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download folder and was able to install. After the install, Windows Search is running again. I didn't enable or start it.
I'm using Windows Defender. No Malwarebytes, no CCleaner, no other AV or AS program.
C:\Windows.old is 22.7GB
Delivery Optimization 2.98GB
The only programs I've added are Everything Search and Greenshot.
I'd also like to know how Windows Search figures into this? Why does disabling it allow the update to work? Microsoft change4d something in the upgrade process, what was it? Almost certainly they "fixed" one problem and caused this new one.
