[SOLVED] Issue getting Windows Update to run, Install error - 0x800703f1. Components hive appears to be corrupted.

[Mark Wolf]

I could use some help. I've gone through a lot of troubleshoooting with the Microsoft Windows 11 forums.
Link here: Redirecting
I've tried SFCFix, but it's not helped. DISM will not run.

Can anyone help me to repair the Components hive?

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

Download

ComponentsScanner and save it to your desktop.

• Right-click ComponentsScanner.exe and select "Run as administrator", click Yes on the UAC (User Account Control) prompt which appears.
• Follow the on-screen instructions.
• When the following message appears: "ComponentsScanner has detected the following issues that it is able to repair automatically."
• Press Y to perform the repair.
  
  
  
  
  
• Once complete, a report will be saved to your desktop called ComponentsScanner.txt.
• Post the logfile ComponentsScanner.txt as attachment into your next reply.

The COMPONENTS hive is succesfully repaired, please attempt to update and let me know the result. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS log(s).

you're correct. It did work this time. Cumulative update KB5019274 installed successfully. Thank you!
