Still no joy. My next step may be to take a clean drive and try
installing to that. If that fails then it would have to be a hardware
problem.

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

Bottom line:Â Win10 keeps trying to update to the Creators Update
(not the Fall Creators Update, I'm way behind!) and fails each
time. 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
