Hi, I've been trying to install kb2976978 for several weeks now, but it fails every time. I'm on Windows 8.1 pro, with all updates installed, except this one. I've searched a lot for a solution, found some and tried them all. All to no avail...
I did sfc /scannow again just now, gave only one error back; something about a corrupted windows wallpaper. It was automatically fixed. Then I tried SFCFix which failed stating the following:
Welcome to SFCFix by niemiro and sysnative.com.

Due to the nature of your corruptions, scan times have been extended by
approximately 15-20 minutes. Please be patient and allow the operation to
complete.

The restore operation failed. Either the repair source was not found or the comp
onent store cannot be repaired.
Error: 0x800f081f
DISM failed. No operation was performed.
For more information, review the log file.
The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log
Does 'repair source was not found' mean I should have had a Windows repair disk in my drive bay while running SFCFix? And should I post the DISM log here?
I really would appreciate some help here, I have spend so much time trying to find a solution and nothing works. It's driving me crazy (as does a lot of others too, I discovered).
