This is fairly fresh install of Windows 7 as of yesterday; I had Windows 8.1 and was getting various errors, so I had to reinstall (not sure if this all points to a pending SSD failure). I've tried the Fix It, I tried the

"fsutil resource setautoreset true %systemdrive%\

attrib -r -s -h %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\TxR\*
del %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\TxR\*

attrib -r -s -h %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\*
del %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\*.tm*
del %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\*.blf
del %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\*.regtrans-ms"

as given in another thread and it went fine until I got to the TxR portion, where it stated I could not remove some items because they're still in use (same as post #4 in this thread, https://www.sysnative.com/forums/wi...-install-important-updates-infinite-loop.html).

I deleted SoftwareDistribution/Download and /DataStore contents.

I stopped the Windows Update Client and BITS, ran the Fix It, started processes, and rebooted (I watched some youtube videos with possible fixes).

I appreciate anything that can be done, thank you.

Edit-- the CBS folder is attached at the top for some reason. Sorry, I'm new at this.

Hi,

You didn't say you tried this, so can you do the following for me please.

Boot into the recovery environment, and launch command prompt please: How to use the Windows 7 System Recovery Environment Command Prompt

When command prompt is launched, type in the following command and press enter:

DISM /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions

Then reboot your computer, booting into Windows normally. Run this FixIt in aggressive mode: You receive a "0x80070002" or "0x80070003" error code after you download an update from Windows Update, from Microsoft Update, or from Windows Server Update Services

Please see the attached image, I got an error message and DISM did not seem to complete.

I've had some similar issues with this, having one OS and then moving to another and then back again. Then the clean install was/became buggy. What I did and still do, since it's a relatively new clean install is re-do the clean install. Then making sure that I install all needed drivers for said OS being installed, then I update the OS from MS. For what ever reason this just happens sometimes.
