    Hi John,

    Error 0x80070050 means ERROR_FILE_EXISTS. Please share your CBS logs for analysis. To collect the CBS logs, open admin PowerShell and run these commands:

    net stop trustedinstaller

Compress-Archive C:\Windows\Logs\CBS -f (join-path ([environment]::GetFolderPath('Desktop'))\CBS.zip)

    This creates a file named CBS.zip on your desktop. Share it on OneDrive or GoFile.io and post the link here.
