Hi.

My problems started when I tried to update Windows 10 with KB4134660 y KB4033631 and I received error 0x800703f1 for both of them. I tried to execute "Windows10UpgraderApp.exe" and the download and upgrade (from 15063 to 16299) process seemed to work fine but after reboot it shows that and error was found and it was necessary to return to previous version. I have retry this process several times but with same result.

Then I started to investigate this situation and finally I found that the "component store" was damaged:
Code: 
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth /english

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.15063.0

Image Version: 10.0.15063.0

The component store is [COLOR=#ff0000]repairable[/COLOR].
The operation completed successfully.

But it was repairable.
But when I tried to repair:
Code: 
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /english
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.15063.0

Image Version: 10.0.15063.0

[==                         4.5%                           ]
Error: 1009

The configuration registry database is [COLOR=#ff0000]corrupt[/COLOR].

The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log

Reviewing dism.log found this errors:
Code: 
2019-01-09 18:42:53, Error                 DISM   DISM Package Manager: PID=13672 TID=10992 Failed finalizing changes. - CDISMPackageManager::Internal_Finalize(hr:0x800703f1)

And reviewing cbs.log I found:
Code: 
2019-01-09 18:42:53, Error                 CBS    Session: 30713922_3116442048 failed to perform store corruption detect and repair operation. [HRESULT = 0x800703f1 - ERROR_BADDB]

After this I was totally missed but I found this forum. I started to follow the "Windows Update Forum Posting Instructions" and found that sfc /scannow is reporting "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation". Then I downloaded sfcfix and this is the log output:

Hello and welcome!

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 and just provide the link here.
 
Step 1 - Replace Components Hive Manually

  1. Download COMPONENTS.RAR and save to your desktop.
  2. Right-click on it and select Extract all.... Make sure the "Show extracted files when complete" is checked and click Extract.
  3. Now we have the COMPONENTS file that we will be using to replace your current one.
  4. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\config
  5. Right-click on the current COMPONENTS file and select rename. Rename it to COMPONENTS.bad.
    Note: If you get an error that the file is in use, reboot your computer and then try again.
  6. Take the file from the Components folder on your desktop and paste it into C:\Windows\System32\config





Step#2 - DISM /RestoreHealth Scan

  1. Right-click on the Start button and select Command Prompt (Admin)
  2. When command prompt opens, Copy (Ctrl+C) and Paste (Right-click > Paste) the following command into it, then press Enter
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
  3. Once it finishes, copy and paste the following into the command-prompt window and press Enter. If prompted to overwrite the existing file go ahead.
    copy %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log "%userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt"
  4. Once this has completed please go to your Desktop and you will find CBS.txt => Please zip/upload to this thread.
    Please Note:: if the file is too big (over 7MB) to upload to your next post, please upload via a service such as Dropbox or One Drive or SendSpace and just provide the link.
 
I have update Windows to version 10.0.16299.904 without problems.
At this moment, I am installing last security patches and everything is working fine.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Regards.
