[SOLVED] Can't run Windows Update / Can't run SFC

Yes, RSAT is installed and working. Hooray! One last question before I go... How did you repair the key? Did you attach the hive via Regedit or do you use a different tool? I'm asking because I've seen this kind of corruption one time previously. (Thankfully, it's very uncommon and I manage...

[SOLVED] Can't run Windows Update / Can't run SFC

The MSU is installing. It's taking a while, like the HDD is working a bit. I haven't investigated why but perhaps it's the update service scanning for needed updates. It's probably far behind. CPU is relatively quiet. I'll update when it's done. Progress is being made.

[SOLVED] Can't run Windows Update / Can't run SFC

Ah. Is it a common one? Meaning, could I have gotten it from another Windows 7 workstation? I didn't think to check one. Does \Registry\Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SideBySide\Winners\ indicate the key was off HKLM? Does that backtick indicate a truncation? Good. Let's...

I'm doing it now. Unfortunately, I am remote so if the system doesn't come back up, I'll have to go on-site tomorrow to resolve. Can you explain what was changed in the hive? *** UPDATE *** The workstation came back up. What shall I do now? *** UPDATE #2 *** SFC /SCANNOW is running. I am...

This is the only place where the instructions deviated. I didn't see a Users folder. I did see a Windows folder and was able to ZIP up the two hives. I've PMed it to you. Thanks.

I'll have it for you this weekend, probably tomorrow. The user turned off her workstation and I'll have someone on-site tomorrow to turn it back on.

[SOLVED] Can't run Windows Update / Can't run SFC

Eh, this is the last straw before I raze the system, but I thought I'd try. The other day, I downloaded the Remote Server Administration Tools. I ran the MSU and it never finished checking for current updates. I looked into that issue and found that if stopped the Windows Update service before...
