2025-07-04T23:21:36+00:00

Environment Details

  • Source OS: Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (Build 19045.6036)
  • Target OS: Windows 11 Pro (latest .iso)
  • Hardware: TPM 2.0 enabled, Secure Boot enabled, UEFI
  • Domain: Workgroup (local machines)
  • Upgrade Method: Setup.exe /auto upgrade /eula accept

LOGS from installation - OneDrive Logs

Problem Statement

Windows 11 in-place upgrade consistently fails after a third-party service was initially configured with user account authentication and later reconfigured to LocalSystem. Despite complete service removal, the upgrade process fails during compatibility assessment.

Service Configuration Timeline Original Working State

  • Service: [ThirdPartyService]
  • Log On As: Local System account
  • Result: Windows 11 upgrade succeeds

Problem Configuration

  • Service: [ThirdPartyService]
  • Log On As: This account
  • Username: [local user account]
  • Password: [provided]
  • Result: Windows 11 upgrade fails

Current State (Still Failing)

  • Changed back to: Local System account
  • Service stopped and disabled
  • Service completely uninstalled and removed
  • Result: Windows 11 upgrade still fails

What I've Already Tried

Please assume I've applied every solution from the first 20 pages of Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo and Yandex. I'm not a novice and have exhausted standard troubleshooting procedures including:

  • ✅ sfc /scannow and DISM /RestoreHealth
  • ✅ Windows Update troubleshooter and reset
  • ✅ Manual Windows Update service restart/reset
  • ✅ Registry cleanup of obvious service entries
  • ✅ Temp file cleanup and disk cleanup
  • ✅ Antivirus disabling during upgrade
  • ✅ All Windows 11 compatibility requirements verified
  • ✅ Memory test and hardware diagnostics
  • ✅ Different upgrade methods (/auto upgrade, /eula accept, compat /ignorewarning, migneo /disable and many others, various combinations)
  • ✅ Upgrade advisor tools and PC Health Check
  • ✅ Event log analysis for obvious error patterns
  • ✅ Even debugging windows kernel while upgrading through network

Core Technical Question

What persistent authentication artifacts remain in Windows after changing a service from user account authentication back to LocalSystem that could block Windows 11 upgrade compatibility assessment?

I suspect the issue relates to:

  1. LSA Secrets - encrypted service account credentials persisting in registry
  2. Security Identifier (SID) artifacts - service-specific SIDs remaining in system databases
  3. File system ACL modifications - NTFS permissions retaining references to deleted service accounts
  4. Authentication context inconsistencies - security token artifacts causing compatibility assessment failures

But i'm more Linux guy and i don't have deep knowledge about how Windows actually works. And the issue is very strange for me - please help.

    Hi Cherrelyn,

    Thank you for the additional suggestions. I've completed the registry analysis you recommended:

    I've thoroughly examined HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList and found all profiles are legitimate:

    • System profiles: S-1-5-18 (SYSTEM), S-1-5-19 (LOCAL SERVICE), S-1-5-20 (NETWORK SERVICE)
    • User profile: S-1-5-21-1557056498-1580817122-3087789175-1001 (User)
    • SQL Server profiles: SQLTELEMETRY, MSSQLFDLauncher, MSSQLSERVER service profiles

    None of the problematic SIDs we identified in the ACL scan have corresponding entries in ProfileList.

    Current Status:

    • ✅ Removed 8 problematic SIDs from ACL entries across the system
    • ✅ Verified no orphaned profiles in registry
    • ✅ Confirmed all S-1-5-21-* SIDs correspond to valid accounts
    • ❌ Windows 11 upgrade still fails with identical error

    At this point, I'm starting to feel like we're both taking somewhat blind approaches to this issue. The standard SID cleanup and registry verification steps haven't resolved the core problem, and I suspect we need to pivot our troubleshooting strategy.

    Best regards,
    Patryk

    Hi Patryk,

    Thanks for the detailed output and it’s very thorough! From what I see, you’ve identified a good number of capability, appcontainer, and local system/service SIDs, along with some that may be problematic.

    Please try these suggestion next:

    1.Cross-check those problematic SIDs against HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services. Look for any services with matching names or references, and if confirmed unused, export and then delete those keys.

    2.For lingering profiles in the registry:

    Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList, and remove any profile keys that:

    -Don’t correspond to existing user folders in C:\Users

    -Are not linked to active accounts on your machine

    3.If any of those S-1-5-21-* domain/user SIDs aren't tied to known users (net user), feel free to clean them up via icacls as mentioned earlier.

    Warm regards,

    Cherrelyn

    Hi Patryk,

    Thanks for your update! Since the WMI repository is consistent and the registry path doesn’t exist, we’ll focus on orphaned SIDs and leftover service traces.

    Please run this in elevated PowerShell to check for unused SIDs:

    icacls C:\ /T /C | findstr /i "S-1-5-21"

    Compare the SIDs to your active user list—if any don’t match, remove them using:

    icacls "Path" /remove "S-1-5-XX..."

    Next, go to:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

    Look for old service keys related to the one that used a local account. Back them up and delete if confirmed unused.

    Also check:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

    Remove unknown SIDs not linked to valid profiles.

    Warm regards,

    Cherrelyn

    C:\Windows\system32>winmgmt /salvagerepository

    WMI repository is consistent

    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services[ServiceName]\Security does not exist

    "Try to remove any stale service-related keys or SIDs from the registry and NTFS." Can you help me with doing this?

    I also can't find CompatAppraiser.log on my machine
