Agreed, and also worth running sfc /scannow from an admin command prompt to check for system file corruption.

Agreed. Yeah, that's a solid step. Also, try temporarily disabling any third-party antivirus before your next upgrade attempt—it can sometimes interfere.

Agreed. You could also run a system file check by opening Command Prompt as admin and typing "sfc /scannow" to fix any corrupted Windows files.

Can confirm. I had the same problem. For me, it was a driver conflict with an old peripheral; unplugging everything non-essential before the upgrade finally got it to stick.
