Good afternoon.
I can't install any updates on Windows 8.1.
An error appears - RESULT = 0x80073712 - ERROR_SXS_COMPONENT_STORE_CORRUPT in the CBS.log file
Checking OS via DISM

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
No component store corruption detected.
Operation completed successfully.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
Error: 14098
The component store is corrupted.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Error: 14098
The component store is corrupted.

What can be done?

I fear that there may be some major corruption here and it may not be possible to repair it. Could you please provide your COMPONENTS hive using the following instructions:

Retrieve 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.
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 a file sharing service. Examples of services to upload to are Dropbox or OneDrive or SendSpace and then just provide the link in your reply.
