So when I install update 2903939 it installs fine but upon reboot it goes to 7%, reboots, reboots again as soon as the background color for the login screen shows, and then says windows was unable to update.

So far I have tried:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
SFC /scannow
Restart background intelligence service
Remove extra USB devices
Disable antivirus ( I don't have one except for bitdefender)
Renaming distribution folder in %systemroot% to .old

SFC said something couldn't be repaired and I don't really understand the log. DISM said it repaired a store component or something. I am very lost on where to go next. I cannot seem to upload the CBS.log as a .txt I get an internal error.

Copy & paste the following into notepad. Save it as Logs.bat

Right click the Logs.bat & click Run as Administrator.

Code: 
md %userprofile%\desktop\Logs
findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >%userprofile%\Desktop\Logs\sfcdetails.txt 
copy "C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log" "%userprofile%\Desktop\Logs\CBS.txt"
copy "C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log" "%userprofile%\Desktop\Logs\dism.txt"
copy "C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log" "%userprofile%\Desktop\Logs\WindowsUpdate.txt"
compact /c /s:%userprofile%\Desktop\Logs

This will create a folder called Logs on the desktop, attach the files so I can have a look.

I was dealing with this for days prior to posting this. I just reformatted. For some reason nothing worked and the drive was locking its self preventing me from doing anything. Backed up, wrote zeros. The first time I updated to 8.1 it failed and rolled back, but I ran it again and it installed fine AND the update installed fine. I keep thinking my HDD has to be dying but everything says otherwise. WD life guard passes everything, crystal disk shows good health. Shes 5 or 6 years old now though.
