i haven't been able to successfully do a Windows Update in almost a year. When I tried to debug the issue I found in the CBS log this error:
Session: 30817239_3040857450 failed to perform store corruption detect and repair operation. [HRESULT = 0x800703f1 - ERROR_BADDB]
I've seen many threads about this and it being fixed by uploading my components file: components.zip
Thanks for anyone who can help
!!! WARNING !!! The following fix is only relevant for this system and no other, applying this fix on another computer will not work and most likely will cause problems...
Right-click on it and select Extract all.... Make sure the "Show extracted files when complete" is checked and click Extract.
Now you have the COMPONENTS file that we will be using to replace your current one.
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\config
Right-click on the current COMPONENTS file and select rename. Rename it to COMPONENTS.bad. Note: If you get an error that the file is in use, reboot your computer and then try again.
Take the file from the Components folder on your desktop and paste it into C:\Windows\System32\config
