great forum and great people with amazing skill set for windows repair. i inherited laptop with W7E-64b installed (Dell D-630). Noticed no update history so ran windows update. Some updates installed except kb4539601 and kb4534310, both fail with error code 0x8024200D. Next ran sfc /scannow and shows no file corruption, ran SURT/DISM with no errors, ran SFCFix with no errors. Files CBS and SFCFix attached for your review. Tried to understand sequence for updates with these kb's and understand I am missing one or more kb's prior to kb4539601 and kb4534310. totally confused w/ Windows Updates, prefer Linux.
Provide the Components Hive
1. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file.
2. 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. Note: If you find that you need to reboot and are unable to because this is a server then try Option#2 below.
3. 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.
4. The file will likely be too large to upload here so please upload to Filedropper or SendSpace and just provide the link here. Option#2 (only if you are unable to follow the previous instructions)
Please download the Freeware RegBak from here: Acelogix Software - Download products You will find it at the bottom of the page that the link brings you to.
Go ahead and install this program and accept all the defaults. After the last install screen the program should open.
Click the New Backup button. Accept the defaults and simply click Start.
When it says Finished successfully, click the Close button.
This will bring you back to the main screen of the program. You will see one entry in this list with the date that you did it. Right-click on this line-item and select Explore Backup...
This will bring you into the folder where the backup was made. You should see a Users folder and a Windows folder along with a couple other files. Double-click on the Windows folder to open it. Then open the System32 folder and then config folder. You should see around 6 files in here, one of which is named COMPONENTS.
Copy the COMPONENTS file to your Desktop. If the COMPONENTS file does not exist, please fetch it instead from C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS.
Now right-click on the COMPONENTS file that is on your desktop and select Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
Then please upload the zip file (COMPONENTS.zip) to your favourite file sharing website (it will be too big to upload here). Examples of services to upload to are Filedropper or One Drive or SendSpace and then just provide the link in your reply.
You can close any open windows you have as well as the RegBak program now.
You provided a link to delete the uploaded file. However, I was able to determine the correct download link.

still error 0x8024200d..thanks for your help. If too difficult we can stop. This is more of an intellectually curiosity. I have an image using Clonezilla and I can reload W7E-64b and use as a test machine w/ KMSPico for activation.
Noticed additional user "Administrator" in Windows/User List, account is not listed in Control Panel Users....security/permissions corruption??
It is not too difficult. We are just starting.
If you are going to use tools like KMSPico I have to stop.
It is against the rules to help people with an illegal operating system or other illegally used programs.
Hacktools can make your system slower and also less secure.

OK....will work with you. I don't wish to cause a problem. Still have an error 0x8024200d. Are CBSPersist*******.cab logs useful for your analysis? I have been sending only CBS.log
