Hello Kelchan35, welcome to Sysnative!

My name is Tom and I'll be assisting you along with one of our trainees: ganjeii. Please don't be worried about being helped by a trainee though, firstly he's very good and secondly I'll be reviewing all of his scripts before he posts them! There might be a slight delay between our posts as there's time zone differences between us, but we'll do our best to get you up and running as soon as possible!

I've let ganjeii know and we'll get back to you with a fix as soon as possible!

Tom

Hi Kelchan! Please carefully follow my instructions below

SFC Scan

Click on the Start

button and in the search box, type Command Prompt
When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator
When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following commands into it, press enter after each

sfc /scannow

Wait for this to finish before you continue

copy %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log "%userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt"
This will create a file, cbs.txt on your Desktop. Please attach this to your next post.

ganjeii · Jun 23, 2014

Hi Kelchan, I believe the limit for our site is ~7MB. Please upload this file via a cloud system like Dropbox and share the link in your next post.

Thanks!

its working, thanks. mind to enlighten me why previously its not working ?

ganjeii · Jul 1, 2014

No problem! In lamens, based on your logs, there was a corrupt entry for update KB2892074 within the folder %WINDIR%SoftwareDistribution\Download. Renaming this folder and re-running Windows Update rebuilds the folder and enumerates a fresh copy of the update files. Hope this helps :smile9:.

Glad we could solve this for you!
