I am sorry that you are having problems. I do see the problem from your CheckSUR.log. You have some corrupt files. I should be able to fix these. You need a custom fix for your machine, and until those corruptions are fixed, the problem will not go away. Resets will not help you. You may as well not waste time on them.
However, I am completely swamped at the moment. I will create this fix as soon as possible. In all likelihood, it will take me about 24hours.
I apologies again for the delay,
Richard

Create these folders if it does not already exist: C:\Windows\Temp\CheckSur\Servicing\Packages\ and C:\Windows\Temp\CheckSur\Servicing\Manifests
Extract Packs.zip onto your Desktop. Please the contents of my Packs\Packages in C:\Windows\Temp\CheckSur\Servicing\Packages\ and my Packs\Manifests in C:\Windows\Temp\CheckSur\Servicing\Manifests.

Have you placed the files as required? Once you have, you need to run the file which you downloaded. Look in your Downloads history, or your Downloads folder. If, however, you have lost the media, then yes, you will have to re-download.
Thanks!

Sorry about that. I didn't realise that you hadn't downloaded SURT from the Microsoft website. Anyway, unfortunately, the log has not changed SURT did not detect those replacement files. My best guess would be after the restarts and the like, something inside Windows cleaned out those Temp files. Can you please make sure that there are 36 .cat and .mum files in C:\Windows\Temp\CheckSur\Servicing\Packages\ and 38 .manifest files in C:\Windows\Temp\CheckSur\Servicing\Manifests and then re-run SURT.
I am really sorry this is dragging on as it is,
Richard

This means that you will always have it available, and won't ever have to re-download it.
Then make sure that those files are in place, and re-run it.
For some reason, the files are not being used, when they should be. Hopefully this download will solve that problem.
Thanks!
