After running ComponentsScanner.exe, I found that alot of registry keys and files are missing. Most if not all of these files end in the .cat file extension. I don't understand any of this Windows stuff(I'm a Linux user), I would really appreciate all help.

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

Step 1. Run the following DISM command and post the result.
Code: 
DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth


Step 2. Attach a copy of the CBS log(s).
  • Open Windows Explorer and browse to the C:\Windows\Logs folder.
  • Right-click on the CBS folder and choose Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
  • Now the message will appear, "Windows cannot create the Compressed (zipped) Folder here. Do you want it to be placed on the desktop instead?"
  • Click on the Yes button here.

  • Attach the file CBS.zip to your next reply.
 
Hi,

Upload your COMPONENTS hive.
  • Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file.
  • Please copy this file to your desktop.
  • Note: If you receive an error that this file is in-use, simply reboot your computer and try again.
  • Right-click on this file on your desktop and select Send To > Compressed (zipped) folder. This will create a file named COMPONENTS.ZIP on your desktop.
  • If the file is too large to upload here, upload the file to www.wetransfer.com and post the link in your next reply.
 
Hi,

Step 1. Download

SFCFix and save it to your desktop.

Warning: This fix was written specifically for this system. Do not run this fix on another system.
  • Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
  • Download the attachment SFCFix.zip and save it to your desktop.
  • Drag the SFCFix.zip file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it.

  • SFCFix will launch, let it complete.
  • Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called SFCFix.txt.
  • Post the logfile (SFCFix.txt) as attachment in your next reply.


Step 2. Run the following DISM command and post the result. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS log.
Code: 
DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

Hi,

Have you run SFCFix with the ZIP-file before a normal scan with SFCFix, if so please provide that logfile from C:\SFCFix.
 
Hi,

You have started SFCFix.exe the normal way, but you'll need to drag and drop the attached SFCFix.xip over the executable, as described in post#6.
 
Here is my SFCFix.txt and DISM command output. I'm sorry for not thoroughly reading your previous answers.

DISM OUTPUT:
Code: 
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.22000.653

Image Version: 10.0.22000.1098

The update was going well up until it hit 34% in the installing stage. When it hit 34% it skyrocketed to 100% then it gave me this error.1680968814513.png
Here is my CBS.zip:
