Hello Folks!

Because I can't install any Windows Updates anymore on a Windows Server 2016 Essentials, I tried to do a repair by
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

It stops at 4,5% with
Error: 1009. The configuration registry database is corrupt

The log of SFCFix says

Hello and welcome!

Step 1 - Replace Components Hive Manually

Warning: this fix is specific to the user in this thread. No one else should follow these instructions as it may cause more harm than good. If you are after assistance, please start a thread of your own.



  1. Download COMPONENTS.ZIP and save to your desktop.
  2. Right-click on it and select Extract all.... Make sure the "Show extracted files when complete" is checked and click Extract.
  3. Now we have the COMPONENTS file that we will be using to replace your current one.
  4. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\config
  5. 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.
  6. Take the file from the Components folder on your desktop and paste it into C:\Windows\System32\config




Step#2 - DISM /RestoreHealth Scan

Sorry the late reply, I couldn't test it earlier.

It's really fixed, I'm impressed!! Thanks a lot again for your help, I really appreciate!

Any idea what causes the corrupted database? - just to avoid it in the future...:o1
 
Great! I cannot tell you what caused the issue as I don't have an insight into what was done on the machine prior to the incident. If you have an issue later on, just start a new thread. :)
