Before any second repair step
After the first safe check, record whether the reviewed intermediate result occurred, whether the original problem was retested, and the exact output. An expected observation is not automatically a repair.
Then separately record whether the original problem still occurs, was not reproduced once, or has not been retested yet. Every session ends in stop, one repeat of the same check, one named missing fact, or escalation—never an open-ended repair sequence.
The browser-local Evidence Pack combines the selected context, safe action, actual observation, sources, review date, missing evidence, and stop boundary. It can be copied or printed without creating an account or uploading a log.
After you perform the safe check
Paste a short WindowsUpdate.log, CBS.log, DISM, or servicing excerpt and extract timestamps, components, KBs, packages, error codes, and repeated error clusters without uploading the log.
