NO Updates, NO SFC, NO .NET

[clatix]

I will really appreciate your help.
I have Windows 10 Pro Version 1709 Build 16299.192
It's been long time since I'm not able to update Windows. The usual error is 0x8007001F.
It's also impossible to run SFC.
Today I could not install .NET 4.8 with error 0x000003F1 "The configuration registry database is corrupt".
Thanks a lot

Hi!

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.
