Question: Check the new setupact.log screenshots and identify the Windows install failure point.

Answer:

I checked both screenshots. They actually reveal something important:

The log you captured is still not the failure point.

The visible part shows a normal setup flow:

CInstallUI::SwitchToProgressPage
Next button clicked
LanguageSelection...
KeyboardSelection...
ProgressHandlerAction...
Task progress: [46%]

and earlier:

Action progress: [100%]
Overall progress: [11%]
Setup Phase: [4]
Setup SubPhase: [54]

This means:

• USB boot works ✅
• Windows PE works ✅
• Setup UI works ✅
• Language selection works ✅
• Installation process starts ✅

The failure happens later, after this part.

The line:

User has requested to launch the recovery environment

is still only the rollback/recovery path, not the cause.

Important clue: Setup Phase [4]

Windows setup phases:

Phase 1: Downlevel
Phase 2: SafeOS
Phase 3: First boot
Phase 4: Second boot / OOBE transition

Your failure appears around:

Setup Phase: [4]

So this is probably after the image was applied.

That makes these less likely:

• ❌ corrupted ISO
• ❌ missing install.wim
• ❌ USB copy problem

because setup already progressed.

More likely:

1. Boot configuration problem
2. Storage controller / VMD driver
3. Driver conflict
4. Existing EFI partition issue

Next check: find the real error

From the command prompt:

cd C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther

findstr /i "error 0xc190 0x8007 failed" setuperr.log

Then:

notepad setuperr.log

Scroll to the first Error, not the bottom.

Also check setup rollback log

Windows keeps the real reason here:

notepad C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Rollback\setupact.log

This file is often much more useful.

Search:

Error
Failed
0x

My updated guess

Based on the screenshots:

Most likely: old disk layout / EFI issue

You previously had:

partition is of an unrecognized type
volume is offline

I would do a completely clean GPT install:

Boot USB → Shift+F10:

diskpart

list disk

select disk 0

clean

convert gpt

exit

Back to installer → refresh → install.

This removes:

• old Lenovo recovery partitions
• broken EFI entries
• dynamic disk metadata
• stale RAID signatures

---

Before wiping, send me:

C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Rollback\setupact.log

or the output of:

findstr /i "error failed 0xc190" C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Rollback\setupact.log

That should contain the real root cause.
