I learned on another forum that the installer iso is dependent on DISM. If it is not working, installation fails.
The recovery stick includes recovery.wip, which indicates that DISM failure undermines it, too.

There are indications that corrupted files in C:\Windos\system32\downlevel  may be at the root of the problem.

No backup of 7. Original 10 distro was useless when the crap hit the fan. Booted but would do nothing.  I overwrote it with a rescue disk which is useless 'cuz it does not recognize the mouse and keyboard.

Unable to find that free scanner you mentioned. Only saw big price tags.
None of the update isos will install. All quit and go home.

At this stage, tweaking.com windows fix quit working. ASC also quit, but I got it working again.
I had tried selective startup. Msconfig will not get out of it no matter what I do; always reverts from normal to selective.
