Alright, I'll need your COMPONENTS Hive to create a fix. Follow the instructions below please.

Retrieving the COMPONENTS Hive
Follow the instructions below to retrieve your COMPONENTS Hive and send me it.
  • Open your Windows Explorer, and navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\Config folder;
  • In this folder, find the COMPONENTS file (there's no extension), and copy it to your Desktop;
    Note: If you receive an error message saying that the COMPONENTS file is in use, restart your computer and try again. If the error message persist, let me know.
  • Right-click on it, and select Send to... and choose Compressed (zipped) folder;
  • Upload the file on Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive and post the download URL for it here;
 
I've not used onedrive before, so I don't know if I did it right, or do I need to send you an invitation to see the file? If so, I assume I need an email to send the invite to? I don't see anything here in the forums about using these kinds of cloud tools for sharing large files.

thanks,
-chuck
 
It's good I'm able to download it :) I'll take a look at it once I get home tonight.
 
Hum apparently I cannot download it, spoke too fast. The easiest cloud service to use is Dropbox. Upload the file there, right-click on it and select "Share". From there you'll get an URL. Simply copy/paste it here.
 
Follow the instructions below please.

Replacing the COMPONENTS Hive
Follow the instructions below to replace the COMPONENTS Hive.
  • Download the attached COMPONENTS.zip file, and save it on your Desktop;
  • Right-click on it, and select Extract all.... Once done, the folder with the COMPONENTS file will open. This will be your new COMPONENTS Hive.
  • Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\config folder;
  • In it, find the COMPONENTS file and rename it to COMPONENTS_bak;
    Note: If you receive a message saying that the file is in use, restart your computer and try again.
  • Once done, copy the new COMPONENTS file I sent you in the C;\Windows\System32\config folder;
COMPONENTS.zip
 
Done,
now do I just try updates again, or do I need to re-run anything else?

thanks,
-chuck
 
There's still 2 corruptions to take care of but I need to seek guidance from my instructor on them since it's the first time that I've encountered them and they look volatile.
 
Oops,
I rebooted and started windows update, so if they are volatile, something may have changed. Let me know where I need to start over...

Sorry,
-chuck
 
All good. They are probably going to fail. If they succeed then it's good :P
 
73 updates succeeded, none failed (two rounds of update, reboot, check for updates).
This is a huge step up from where we were, since updates have failed for weeks.

I would still like to resolve the two issues you have noted, so please let me know what my next steps should be, and thank you for all the help you have been.

-chuck
 
Wow, the things a simple fix can do eh :P If you click on Check for updates in your Windows Update panel, how many updates are left to install?

None, Windows is up to date.

I'm still curious about the 2 reported unfixable errors.
 
The problem with these errors is that they are corrupt Registry values (there's presence of Unicode in them) and they need to be fixed (replaced by the same value, but the correct characters).

I saw those in some of the reports, and even found one in regedit, but didn't know how to fix it. Is that the magic you did to the components hive?
 
Yes :) I fixed this one.

Code: 
Corrupt Registry Key Detected: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS\DerivedData\Components\amd64_microsft-windws-s..e-cleanup.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.22435_en-us_f35fcfb4ef99e6b1

I deleted it since it was corrupt, and exported the key it represented from my Windows 7 SP1 x64 VM and imported it in your Hive. Once done, I made you swap it for the Hive I modified.
