Firmware update or hyper-v causes automatic repair loop everytime

Hi, i have an Asus FX705DX laptop (Ryzen 3550H) and i've been having the same issue since i bought it several months ago.
Everytime a new Firmware (BIOS) update from Asus is installed automatically by Windows Update my system runs into an Automatic Repair Loop and nothing i do (startup repair, system restore, uninstall updates) but reinstalling Windows solves the problem.
I also get to this situation with a new windows install and enabling Hyper-V.
This last time i made a clean new installations of Windows 10 1903 Student, installed all updates and then, when i enabled Hyper-V i got into reboot loop again. I ran automatic startup repair and SrtTrail.txt said:

Root cause found:
---------------------------
A recently serviced boot binary is corrupt.

Repair action: Uninstall latest LCU
Result: Failed. Error code = 0x3713

So i entered command prompt from rescue environment and did a:

DISM /Image:\ /ScratchDir:\Scratch /Cleanup-Image /RevertPendingActions

which completed successfully and i could restart and, to my surprise, Hyper-V is enabled.

The problem is i tried to enable Hypervisor Platform and shows error "Changes cannot be completed".
I went again to recovery command line and tried to install if from there with:

dism /image:c:\ /scratchdir:c:\scratch /enable-feature /featurename:hypervisorplatform

which gave me error:


Then i did a dism checkhealth and i have:


Also, installing VisualStudio i got a warning saying:

Package 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.AspNet45.Feature,version=16.0.28315.86' failed to install.

Return code: -2146498512
Return code details: Unknown error (0x800f0830)

So i can work with the system but it seems a bit corrupted.

Thanks in advance. Any help would be much appreciated.

I attach links to dism logfiles.

Microsoft does not upgrade BIOS firmware you have to install the BIOS firmware from your computer manufacturer website.

Use the following steps to enable Hyper-V on Windows 10:

• Open Control Panel.
• Click on Programs.
• Click on Turn Windows features on or off.
• Check the Hyper-V option making sure: Hyper-V Management Tools and Hyper-V Platform are also selected.
• Click OK to begin the process.

Actually some machines can receive Firmware updates through Windows Updates. As for the reboots, I would also look at Secure Boot getting fouled up and clearing that option to reset it. The Hash may not match when it reboot causing these errors.

Oh okay i never had firmware upgrade from Microsoft, thanks for letting me know.

If this happened to me I would do a complete clean install....

Is there some Asus software enabling this? Updating anything to do with the bios within Windows is a big no no for me as it can corrupt it.

I already did several complete reinstalls and still when enabling hyper-v i get the system corrupted and altough i can recover it i can't enable further features like Hypervisor Platform. Please read again my first post.

And Yeah now i know i must not trust MS and ASUS to update my BIOS but Microsoft haven't been making this easy last times. Now i've already disabled from gpedit.msc automatic updates and update drivers, for the next time. But still i have the problem with BIOS updated with EZ flash utility and ASUS BIOS file.

Enabled secure boot in BIOS, still the same (can't enable Hypervisor platform).

Tried to run a sfc scan and got a "Theres a system repair pending..." message.

Deleted WinSXS\pending.xml and tried again. It run but said:

"Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them."

Here's the log file for that operation.

Any hint?

Can you roll back your Asus Bios? You don't really need to keep updating the bios to the latest - the updates are mostly to add new processor, memory compatibilty with the MB. ([EDIT] in all my years working with Windows ( from 3.11 ) MS has never updated the bios - whatever process is causing that needs to be taken off the system.)

Hyper V should work with Win10 Educational, but, if the Bios is not playing nice it can open a can of worms.

What is the output of Dism /Online /Cleanup-image /RestoreHealth command.

Hide or Show Windows Updates in Windows 10

Output for Dism /Online /Cleanup-image /RestoreHealth was:
error 0x8000ffff. Dism failed to perform operation

Here are the log files:
Dism.log
CBS.log

Unexpected exception in store.cpp
Have to find a way to fix component store without reinstalling Windows.

Did a repair install as stated in Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade with the same Windows 10 Education USB and now everything seems to work.
I have been able to enable Hypervisor Platform and Dism says my Component Store is fine.
Thanks all for your help.

Recommendations: Enable "Do not include drivers with Windows updates" in Group Policies and install/update them from manufacturers web site manually.
