[SOLVED] Unable to update Windows / Repair with SFC and DISM due to 0x80040154 Class Not Registered error

[Alind]

Hi there! I have a Windows Update issue that I can't resolve so I'm here to ask for help if anyone can help me.

I always get the 0x80040154 Download Error error code when doing Windows Updates and whenever I try to use the SFC and DISM repair commands they also fail to run, also when I run the DISM repair command I see the 0x80040154 Download Error error code that I also get when trying to do Windows Updates.

So I found this forum site through Google and also found a post that is almost identical to what I'm experiencing ([SOLVED] - Windows Update failing, drivers failing, BSODs, SFC and DISM failing.).

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

And here's my CBS log file

More info: I encountered this problem when trying to update from Windows 11 23H2 to 24H2. I also tried to mount the official Microsoft ISO file to upgrade a few days ago, but when the update screen reached about 100%, a window said "Update failed".

I also used the ComponentsScanner tool to check, but the log of the tool showed that no errors were found.

Hi,

Step 1. Download

SFCFix and save it to your desktop.

Warning: This fix was written specifically for this system. Do not run this fix on another system.

• Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
• Download the attachment SFCFixScript.txt and save it to your desktop.
• Drag the SFCFixScript.txt file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it.

• SFCFix will launch, let it complete.
• Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called SFCFix.txt.
• Post the logfile (SFCFix.txt) as attachment in your next reply.

Step 2. Run the following DISM command and post the result. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS log.

DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

Thank you so much! After this SFCFix, my DISM worked fine, and this is my SFCFix.txt file, now I can also download updates through Settings-Windows Update, it is still in progress.

Great, let me know result because the fix didn't complete successfully, but we can look at this later...

Hello, unfortunately, I tried installing the update via Windows Settings and the ISO, but both returned the 0x80070002 error code.

English translation to the 1st image: install error - 0x80070002
English translation to the 2nd image: The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during INSTALL_DRIVERS operation

Thank you so much! I have successfully updated to Windows 11 24H2. This problem that has been bothering me for several months has finally been fixed. Actually, I haven't been able to update since October last year...
