Try running this command, from an elevated command prompt...

Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase



I also gave you ten points just for "mostly" filling out your computer specs.

I would try a repair install if cmd as admin doesn't work.

Look in "Services" ......... is RPC (Remote Procedure) running automatically?

Yes RPC is running automatically
Did an in-place upgrade twice and issue remains
Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase also errors out at 5%

Don't know if this has any relevance but running Settings->System-> Optional Features ->"turning windows features on or off " runs extremely slow as it tries to find the files to install (Such as loading SMB). For most programs my desktop is pretty fast.

Could this possibly help? Slow SMB files transfer speed - Windows Server

Server Message Block (SMB) is the default Windows network file system feature and protocol. Network file transfer speeds are affected by several system and network factors. This article provides steps to resolve common file transfer performance issues using SMB.

Sigh. I was afraid of that.
Might want to do a System restore to before the problem occurred.

If you already did the In-Place Upgrade, then you're looking at a clean install.
And this time... start using 3rd party backup software. ^^

Good news.!!

After a 3rd attempt a repair install (keeping software) fixed the component cleanup.
Now I can go on without needing to install my 32 applications that I didn't want to reinstall.



Appreciate all the help and suggestions

Perseverance pays.
