[SOLVED] W10 21H2 KB 0x80073701 PC#1

[Asteroza]

So I was setting up some new W10 21H2 laptops and had already finished updating to September 2022 including the preview patches, and patch tuesday rolled up, so I thought why not, run the october patches.

Yeah, that didn't go so well, so now I have 6 laptops with busted windows update. You would think fresh PC's wold be less likely to have this happen...

PC #1 of 6

got a 0x80073701 error when installing KB5018410

sfc /scannow found something, ran it again and was clear
dism check/scan/restore clear
SFCfix clear

components with CBS/DISM/ProcMon/SFCfix logs

Hi,

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.

Afterwards, please attempt to update. If it fails attach an new copy of the CBS log.
