November 6, 20205 yr Commercial Member Since Windows has been reinstalled can you check if you have a folder called Windows.old, if so you could delete that first and attempt the update again. Also before attempting an update try installing the latest video card drivers. Another idea is to run Task Manager and in the startup tab disable the entries there first.

November 6, 20205 yr Author Thanks Steve, Windows.old is already deleted. Instead I have a Windows.update folder from earlier attempts. I have the latest video drivers 457.09. I will delete the startup items tomorrow and try once again. Intel i7 6700K @4.3. 32gb Gskill 3200 RAM. Z170x Gigabyte m/b. 28" LG HD monitor.

November 6, 20205 yr Commercial Member OK, looks like you did all you can. Another thing could be worth considering is the motherboard chipset drivers. But for the startup items, just disable those in Task Manager startup tab as that's temporary, worth a try. Steve Waite: Engineer at codelegend.com

I tried the steps you suggested and used the Windows update in the Update folder. For the first time I actually got a meaningful message. It would seem as though my Nvme SSD could be the cause. This contains all my P3D files. "An incompatibility issue has been found with Windows 10, version 2004 or Windows 10, version 20H2 when using an Thunderbolt NVMe Solid State Disk (SSD). On affected devices, when plugging in a Thunderbolt NVMe SSD you might receive a stop error with a blue screen and "DRIVER_VERIFIER_DMA_VIOLATION (e6) An illegal DMA operation was attempted by a driver being verified." Affected Windows 10 devices will have at least one Thunderbolt port and any currently available version of the driver file stornvme.sys." I searched and I do have this file, although there has never been a problem with it. Windows says a solution is being worked on and should be ready in November. So it looks as though I must just be patient a bit longer. Ian Intel i7 6700K @4.3. 32gb Gskill 3200 RAM. Z170x Gigabyte m/b. 28" LG HD monitor.
