You need to start debug view with admin rights to get output (the
tests can then be done in some cmd window with user rights).

It looks more like a writing problem "failed to write cache". 

The process monitor log of the other user didn't show any suspicious

If you reinstall miktex you should setup the user roots  so that
they don't contain non-ascii chars in the name. But it would be
naturally better to get at the source of the problem. Add a comment
to the bug report that you are affected too.
