Components hive failed load test and may be corrupt.

Hi.

My problems started when I tried to update Windows 10 with KB4134660 y KB4033631 and I received error 0x800703f1 for both of them. I tried to execute "Windows10UpgraderApp.exe" and the download and upgrade (from 15063 to 16299) process seemed to work fine but after reboot it shows that and error was found and it was necessary to return to previous version. I have retry this process several times but with same result.

Then I started to investigate this situation and finally I found that the "component store" was damaged:
Code:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth /english

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.15063.0

Image Version: 10.0.15063.0

The component store is repairable.
The operation completed successfully.

But it was repairable.
But when I tried to repair:
Code:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /english
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.15063.0

Image Version: 10.0.15063.0

[== 4.5% ]
Error: 1009

The configuration registry database is corrupt.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log

After this I was totally missed but I found this forum. I started to follow the "Windows Update Forum Posting Instructions" and found that sfc /scannow is reporting "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation". Then I downloaded sfcfix and this is the log output:
Code:
SFCFix version 3.0.1.0 by niemiro.
