I had the same problem because I was/am using a
RAM Disk assigned to drive B. Change the letter
of the RAM Disk from B to Z and problem solved,
You might want to disable the RAM DISK until you do the update

Do you use the ASUS RAMDisk software they tout
on their page (or even have it installed)? I
have had problems updating Windows getting the
same error code back with Imdisk (a freeware
ramdisk) as my B: drive, though it doesn't
interfere when it's a Z: drive. If so I'd
suggest uninstalling it and try again. If not,
try removing any ASUS drivers / software and see if that helps.
I discovered it by doing a clean install and
found I broke updates again after installing the
software and tools I usually use. You could do
the same - do a clean install onto a separate
disk and verify Windows updates successfully,
then start installing the software and drivers
from your current system. From a USB key it's
not too bad to do the Windows install now, the
software and drivers is definitely the painful part.
I'd be surprised if there's actually a hardware
incompatibility - it's possible but unlikely on hardware this recent.

Thane,
Thanks, but been that route already. Tried
from ISO both with normal system startup and from a 'clean boot'.
Thanks...Steve

The error given is 0x8007001f. Tried just
about everything the past two weeks.
Yesterday spent four hours on the phone with
Microsoft with no progress. The thought
occurs that there might be a hardware
incompatibility. The MB is an ASUS Maximus
VII Hero. BIOS is updated, although the
latest one is back in March. Drivers updated
but the drivers are all 2016 for
latest. Went through the drill with clean
boot and direct update from an ISO, same
failure, same error. With the DAW and audio
setup I have a few hundred thousand files to
install, so I'd like to avoid a clean install
if I can. On the compatibility issue, I
can't get a straight answer from ASUS, nor is
there consistent info on the website. So
does anyone have any experience or heard of
anything with the Creators Update and the
ASUS Maximus VII Hero? Still looking here....
Thanks...Steve
