Hi everyone!
I'm writing here after what seems to be flipping every rock I know how to flip online searching for answers. For the past few weeks, I have been getting weird error messages when turning on my PC. The errors are always 0xc0000020 and 0xc000012f, and they come up in a lot of different message boxes referencing different system32 dlls. I tried a few simple fixes (will list everything down below) and nothing seems to help - but all functionality still works, I only use this computer during weekends and there isn't any sensitive information on it, so I didn't give this too much attention until recently. Yesterday I checked my windows version and found out I didn't update for a while, and when trying to update, the update is installing, reaching 100% and then throwing this error: 0x80071160.
Things I tried so far (some are trivial but worth mentioning):
- Reboot (several times)
- Trying to update without any other program open
- Reinstalling visual C++
- Activating the administrator acount and trying to use it for updating
- Running the following script (and then trying to update):
net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old2
ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old2
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver
None of those fixes seemed to work. While I don't understand their meaning, I ran some diagnostic tools that are worth noting here.
- DISM stopped after 69% with error 4448. I've attached the log.
- I ran SFCFix, twice. For the first time, it stopped after using DISM reported it's error (the same as above), then I pressed a key and it showed the final log. It was weird to me that I had to interact with SFCFix before seeing any sort of "I'm done" message, so I ran it again, and thinking it's going to take a while I walked away from the PC. I came back to a successful log (that unfortunately overwrote the previous one), and the updates still aren't working. The second log is attached here.
Thank you so much for your time and knowledge!
Any ideas what to do next?
