This is similar to the issue that we posted 4 monthes ago:
Solution:
In most of cases, this issue is because the 3rd party driver clean software ( like DriverCleanerDotNet or Driver Sweeper utility from Phyxion ) was installed, and it made some changes to the system image.
Please follow the below steps to resolve it:
1. Run CheckSUR(KB947821).

2. Follow the steps from Phyxion on properly restoring the drivers: https://forum.phyxion.net/viewtopic.php?id=17
3. Mount your Windows installation media to a folder
Extract and replace the %SystemRoot%System32DriverStoreFileRepository with the following folders:
atiilhag.inf_amd64_*
atiriol6.inf_amd64_*
nv_lh.inf_amd64_*
Extract and replace the %SystemRoot%winsxs with the following folders (x64):
amd64_atiilhag.inf.resources_*
amd64_atiilhag.inf_*
amd64_atiriol6.inf_*
amd64_nv_lh.inf.resources_*
amd64_nv_lh.inf_*
Extract and replace %SystemRoot%winsxsManifests with the following files:
amd64_atiilhag.inf-languagepack_*.manifest
amd64_atiilhag.inf.resources_*.manifest
amd64_atiilhag.inf_*.manifest
amd64_atiriol6.inf_*.manifest
amd64_nv_lh.inf-languagepack_*.manifest
amd64_nv_lh.inf.resources_*.manifest
amd64_nv_lh.inf_*.manifest
Note: these are the 64-bit version of the files. For the 32-bit version look for the x86 files. You also need to replace the permisions on above mentioned files and folders to be able to replace them.
4. Perform an inplace upgrade of Windows
