I suspect most of us use Linux (not Windows) hosting with Apache/Litespeed/Ngnix, but I wouldn't think that would make a difference. You were asking for a 'Windows hosting' expert. They might be few and far between on this forum.
Could you try the following scenarios for testing:
Could you try the following scenarios for testing:
- First test: install a clean copy of joomla to a separate sub-folder and database to see if Joomla actually installs correctly as a plain vanilla site. Perhaps install an earlier 5.x version, and perform the relevant update to 5.1.1 (as you're trying to do with your live site - replicate the update from your version being used to 5.1.1).
- Second test: install WAMPServer on your local PC, (note this is Apache not IIS). Backup your live site. Restore it to the localhost WAMPServer site. Does the update run on the localhost? On your live site, backup with akeeba, and restore to the localhost site with Kickstart - or export via phpMYAdmin or other relevant db management utility. WAMPServer includes phpMyAdmin. (this is just a test to see if Apache vs IIS makes any difference).
- Third test. Set up IIS on your PC (if able - IIS is part of Windows Pro or higher I think), import your site, run the site locally and try to perform the Joomla update there.
.Web Server: Microsoft-IIS/10.0
