Windows 8.1 updates will not install. SFCFix Components Hive May Be Corrupt

This is a Win 8.1 home 64 bit computer. I think that it started out as a Win 8 and they upgraded it to a Win 8.1. The media I am using is Win 8.1 home 64 bit iso. Does it have to be a Win 8.1 OEM disk?

Would have to check with the owner. I sure appreciate the help you have given. This one has been a hard one to try and fix.

It was in the middle of the install when I thought about trying it without the update option checked. I will attach a failure pic.

I kind of wonder if I should leave the "Download and Install Updates" option unchecked when I launch the setup to do the reinstall repair. I wonder if that is causing the failure.

It failed after a couple of restarts. It looked like it was going to work but then after one of the restarts I got the message that it was restoring the previous version of windows. At that point I got the message that the repair installed failed. Will try it again and get a shot of it.

I actually tried the repair install several times and it failed each time. I uninstalled the anti-virus and cleaned out the update cache before trying it and it still failed. Any ideas?

Quick question. How large of a compressed CBS file can I upload here and how do I do it. Don't see anything for uploading it. Thanks!

Hi! I have a Dell Inspiron Desktop running Windows 8.1 home. It will not install updates. I have done the normal clearing the update cache and running the built in update troubleshooter with no luck. I have done a thorough cleanup of the computer so there are no viruses or adware on it. It...
