MiKTeX Update directly after Installation makes it not usable

[user56986327]

Hello,

as the title says, the update that MiKTeX want to do directly after installation makes it unusable.

1. I want to install MiKTeX on my Windows 10 that is in a DOM of my company.

2. Link for installation: https://miktex.org/download

3. The installation is just on the local user.

4. Installation works fine.

5. If I force MiKTeX not to do the Updates, I can compile a standard .tex-Document without problems. But only one package for each compilation process is installed. So I had to start the compiling about 5 times to have the basic-packages.

6. If I do the 102 Updates that MiKTeX recommends directly after installation (or later after trying step 5), I get an error message. The installation seems to run completely through, but nevertheless the error is appearing:

7. If I click on yes I get this message: The executed procress did not succeed. and fileName="C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64\miktex-fc-cache.exe", exitCode="1"

8. The Copy Info gives me the follwing text:

9. After this failed update, MiKTeX will no longer show any updates or so. It just says: "No new Updates availabe".
10. But if I now try to compile any LaTeX-document (e.g. in TeXMaker or TeXworks), I get this error message: `Die` Ausführung des Codes kann nicht fortgesetzt werden, da MiKTeX210200-png.dll nicht gefunden wurde. Durch eine Neuinstallation des Programms kann das Problem möglicherweise behoben werden.` or `The execution of the code cannot continue because MiKTeX210200-png.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix the problem.` _(translated to English)_

11. I could get a kind of log-file out of this problem with "TeXworks". Is says the following:

12. I reinstalled the MiKTeX several times. And tired also:
* Installing as local admin
* Installing with the option, that new packages will install without asking

So. Has somebody an idea? After a couple of hours I could not solve the problem, and am now a bit desperate. I also could not find the solution in the www so far. Thank you very much in advance!

- [x] I have read and acknowledged this HOWTO article:  
  [Submitting a MiKTeX problem report](https://miktex.org/howto/bug-report)

 - I could not do this command in the Windows command line: `initexmf --report> miktex-report.txt`. I tried the command line in windows (cmd).

 - In the folder `C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Local\MiKTeX\miktex\log` i have many files. Which one is the wanted log-file?
1. initexmf.log
2. miktex-console.log
3.  miktex-fc-cache.log
4.  mkfntmap.log
5.  mkfntmap_2021-03-29-155138.out
6.  mkfntmap_2021-03-29-155317.out
7.  mpmcli.log

@user56986327 I was not able to reproduce the problem. It seems that some files cannot be deleted during the update. I would recommend that you disable any virus scanners and try again.
