I am having update problems, and have tried all sorts of suggestions to no avail. Then I happened to come across this site, and found a goldmine of enthusiastic experts! I hope someone can help me out.

I am running Windows Version 1803 (OS Build 17133.73)
Specs.PNG
Automatic updates no longer install on the computer, and a number of updates are listed as queued but always fail.
After attempting to update, I get the following message:
There were some problems installing updates, but we’ll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x8024a105)
I have also been seeing ERROR 0x800703f1

Some peripheral devices have stopped working, and driver updates no longer complete. When I try to update drivers, the result is:
Windows found drivers for your device but encountered an error while trying to install them - The configuration registry database is corrupt OR the system cannot find the file specified


I have cleared the Software Distribution file, and other tricks that I have read about in support forums.
I have tried to refresh the OS in a number of ways, but always fail.

I have now followed the fault isolation process on :https://www.sysnative.com/forums/windows-update/4736-windows-update-forum-posting-instructions.html

sfc /scannow - Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth - stopped at 11%, error 4448 The WOF driver encountered a corruption in the compressed file's resource table
C:\windows\logs\DISM\dism.log

I ran: SFCFix.exe - the program ran far longer than expected, and stopped at DISM, 11%, making no further progress. I eventually terminated after approx 2 hours.
Log file text:

I have tried to attach the CBS.zip file here, and hope I have done it in the right way.
As I say, I am stumped, and can't get any further, so now I hope there is someone here who can help me make some progress.
Thanks,
Jeff

Am running Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and it has got as far as 99.9%, but doesn't seem to want to finish.

Sorry, but it still didn't work, even after a re-start. It gives a list of pending updates, and then just finished without updating anything. I also tried updating missing drivers, and got the message that "The configuration registry database is corrupt"
