Windows update KB2976978 will not install

(1/6) > >>

feh50:
This one update (lets you install windows 10) will not update. i have searched many of the windows forums and Microsoft has made some feeble efforts to replace the update. I have done the normal sfc and dism with no success. The update  goes from optional to necessary and back again. i thought i could just manually install windows 10 and do without this update but i get another error "Modern Setup Host has stopped working" and the update quits at that point and you are back to square A. HELP!!!

Boggin:
You could see if any of the suggestions in this article help http://www.thewindowsclub.com/modern-setup-host-has-stopped-working-windows

So far no go, when i try to boot clean the system locks up. For every fix i try i run into another problem

Boggin:
When you perform a clean boot, under the Services tab you must check the box to Hide all Microsoft services before you hit he Disable all button.

Not doing that is the only reason I can think as to why the machine should lock up during that procedure.

While Windows Repair has had a lot of success in dealing with failed Win 10 installs, that's the first I've seen of this reported error, so not sure what WR will make of it - but it would still be worth running the fixes to see, as the article says that as yet - MS haven't come up with an answer.

Before running anything that will change the registry, I always create a full external system image.

Everything came back up after stopping services this time; but still same problem: "Modern Setup Host has stopped working" and the install aborts at this point
