Total Frustration!
Boggin:
The /checkhealth report says it all - the volume cannot be repaired and you will need to reinstall.
This will be the reason why the Reset failed, because the back up in the component store is also corrupt.
You can either try the Upgrade now button in my earlier link or follow the steps in the later one to perform a repair install.

In the attempt to make updates work, I had configured a clean boot. I returned to msconfig and selected normal boot. Subsequently setup.exe started, quit and went home.
The Recovery Stick will not work 'cuz it does not recognize the mouse and keyboard(USB only; no ps2 ports).
I rebooted, shut down ASC & Immunet and tried again, with the same result except that setup quit at an earlier stage that time.
Boggin:
I was under the assumption that you had created a bootable Win 10 USB - this will be different from a recovery stick.
Try the Upgrade now, or you can create bootable media by scrolling down this article and then use that to perform a repair install.

With a normal boot, the Update ISO started and quit without installing. I can not use the recovery stick 'cuz it does not recognize my keyboard and mouse: impossible to select anything. (20 year old CRT)
Boggin:
Do you have anything other than the keyboard and mouse plugged that you can remove ?
Try the Upgrade now button in Safe Mode with Networking and if that also fails, open a Command Prompt (Admin) and enter chkdsk /f
I'm interested to see if it reports any KBs in bad sectors.
If there are bad sectors then the chkdsk /f may not complete - in which case, enter chkdsk /r
You can view the chkdsk report in Event Viewer by expanding Windows Logs - click on the name Application - Action/Find and enter chkdsk or wininit into the Find box.
Cancel the Find box to read the report in the scrollable window.
Something must have caused this massive corruption if it isn't an infection, but I would have preferred it if you had also run the ESET Free Online Scanner.
