I have been unable to update Win 8.1 for several days, either the dialog box hangs or the file download hangs. I have tried the following:

I cleaned out sys temp files
Checked Memory - OK
Chkdsk - OK
I did a sfc /scannow twice and message said unable to fix all corrupt files. Logs attached
Dism CheckHealth . Log attached
Dism Restore Health - cannot download files Error: 0x800f0906 log attached
SFCfix - file fix and no corruptions

When SFCFix has completed, run DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth again.
When DISM has completed, zip and attach C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log with your reply.
 
I ran SFCFix and posted txt below. DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth hangs, it would not finish in 10 hours. I restarted and it hung again, it would not finish in 3 hrs.

Please run SFC /scannow and then zip and attach C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log when SFC has finished.
 
SFC doesn't appear to find any problems.

Let's try this:


Run Windows Repairs
  1. Download Windows Repair (All-in-One) Portable to your desktop.
  2. Once the file is downloaded, right-click on the file on your desktop and choose Extract All...
    Extract.JPG
  3. Keep the defaults and click the Extract button.
  4. A folder named tweaking.com_windows_repair_aio will be extracted to the desktop. Once the extraction is complete the folder will open.
  5. Inside this folder, there is a folder named Tweaking.com - Windows Repair. Open this folder as well.

  6. Double-click on Repair_Windows.exe to open. Note: Please make sure all of your programs are closed and anything you were working on is saved as we will be rebooting.
  7. When the program opens, click the Reboot to Safe Mode button at the bottom of the screen. Answer Yes to allow.
  8. Once rebooted into Safe Mode, open the program again. When the program opens, click the Repairs tab and click the Open Repairs button.
  9. A backup of your registry will be made. After a few moments you will have many options from which you can choose.
  10. Please click the Unselect All button and then click to enable only the following ones:


    10 - Remove Policies Set By Infection
    17 - Repair Windows Updates


  11. Ensure the Restart check box is selected and click the Start Repairs button in the lower right of the screen. This may take some time to run so be patient.
    StartRepairsWithReboot.JPG
  12. Once the fixes are complete you will be prompted to restart your machine. Answer Yes.

Once your computer is at the desktop, start Windows Update and check for updates.
This will take much longer than usual, please be patient.
 
I have Tweeking.com Registry backup installed on my system currently. Should I uninstall and let Windows All-in-one Repair reinstall? My system has been maintenance in progress for the passed 24 hrs. Is it OK to run the Window Repair while in maintenance ?
 
It looks like the update problem is fixed. Thanks! Should I run DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth again?
 
Below is the error message and attached is the dism and cbs logs
