FYI: In-Place Windows Repair disabled on Windows October update - Fix

Today I tried to do an In-Place Windows Repair but found out I wasn't able to install without doing a Clean Windows installation again. The two options to keep all your 3rd party Apps and Windows settings were grayed out.  Only the "Do Nothing" option was clicked which is the same as doing a Clean Windows installation.

Found out that the October 2020 Windows Update for some Users maybe most Users prevents or disabled In-Place Windows Repair.

So following the suggestion from a Windows Tech site, I uninstalled the October 2020 Feature Windows Update and I am now  in the process of doing an In-Place Repair again.

I am doing a In-Place Windows Repair because one App, Easeus Backup Home, keeps giving me the same exact BSOD error PFN_LIST_CORRUPT whenever I run DISK or SYSTEM BACKUP. Easeus Support seems to be off during the Holidays and are not available for Chatting.

Plus a couple of other minor issues I am having  and I am hoping a In-Place Repair will help solve those issues.
