W10 update error on (really) old laptop: SAFE_OS phase

OK thanks. I'd best run an installation again then as I cleaned up after yesterday's efforts.
I'll advise what I get.

OK pictuere of those attached:

No problem ;-)

The two drivers appear to be print related.

In checking my system I have the same two drivers, listed under printers, with a different version number. So this could be a red herring.

That said, like bobjoe when I run sigverif I don't get any errors on scanners or printers, you had one.

Have you run sfc /scannow?

I might also consider running an inplace repair with the correct Version to see if that corrects matters.

When you posted logs one log was missing setuperr.log. Could you see if you have it.

Even though I have the settings to show hidden files and folders I can't find such a log.

I will try running sfc and see what happens.

Here's my CBS Log file:

It appears to be a driver, but Windows doesn't bother to tell me which one, and it would be so easy to programme it that way.
I'm getting weary of this. I continue to try installation, but it's obviously something really obscure that someone at MS HQ decided to block from now on.

Sigverif finds nothing btw. Interesting article here: Microsoft throws in the towel on Windows 10 1809 | Computerworld

Well your CBS log indicates it cannot repair a file

mscorlib.ni.dll

You can go to end of log and see for yourself. Lines of significance in log have [SR] in them.

Do you have boot media or can you create fresh boot media for the version of Windows you have installed?

I would run a repair install with this media.

Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

Version must be the same or it will try to upgrade you.

Alternatively if you have a spare disk you could try a clean install of the current version. If it installs correctly you can then make a decision.
