[SOLVED] Server 2022 - Component store corruption

[mikesmolens]

Hello,

This is my first post w/ Sysnative. My GoogleFU has led me to here.

I need some help with a production server 2022 box. Long store short is the problem started with not being able to run win updates successfully. The server is a VM that is hosting in a datacenter, while I don't have physical access to the VM. I can have the hosting company help me with certain things. I am also able to take snaps before I attempt any fixes. I reset all the Windows Updates components and when I attempt to run a sfc /scannow the scan gets all the way to 100% but then fails with Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation. I have run DISMs scans with no issue while booted into the server and in the RE environment. I have also discovered during my troubleshooting that I can't install any updated drivers manually as well b/c the hosting company has tried to reinstall the VMWare tools and these tools will fail to update any drivers, even if I attempt to install the driver manually. I am really trying to avoid having to build a new box and do a migration of all data/services. Any help with repairing this would be appreciated.

I am working on the logs, I will get them uploaded shortly.

I can run the ComponentsScanner and I attached the log but when I attempt to zip up the logs it gives me the message about creating it on the desktop but once I click on yes I am getting the error File not found or no read permissions.

I was able to run the SequenceNumberChecker against the DRIVER component file and it seems to have repaired that file. I am now able to run updates and install drivers as well.
