That specific error indicates it's an audio device driver issue. Have you tried your motherboard manufacturer's website to see if they have an updated / newer audio driver than the one you're running?

If so, update the audio driver then try the Windows 10 Creator's update again.

If it fails again, your only other options are to do a clean install using the media creation tool or contact your motherboard's manufacturer to report the problem and see if they have a fix for the driver in the works.

Three answers.

First, there are no new updates on the site since 2015.

Second, I have a second monitor, a large 32” WQHD Samsung, which has its own audio driver, which I disabled before installation.

Third, I did use the media creation tool, except the installation wasn’t completely clean because I picked the second of three options, “install but keep personal data”. Yes, I could try the full clean install. But, with what I did, why weren’t the drivers loadable? Why didn’t they come from the upgrade .cab file of drivers? I had pretty common hardware on the board—an Intel 7260 wireless modem, and an Intel gigabit ethernet controller.

As you probably know if you’ve used the creators program, you can do the upgrade via an online download or a separate disk created thru the program. I found MS’s instructions a bit confusing on whether the separate disk (or USB drive) was for a same-computer upgrade or for use on the same computer.

As you probably know, on an upgrade like this, you don’t use a specific product code—it’s buried somewhere in the UEFI/BIOS once you’ve had an approved installation.

In my case, the computer came with Windows 8.1, and the knowledge that 10 would be along “real soon”, which it was.
