Hi
I've just joined the Sysnative and have some limited knowledge of the windows system but I can see I am among experts.
My issue is one that I see others have had in the past. Firstly some info, I have win 10 Pro at Version 1809 and os build 17763.475.
I have been attempting to install the following:
2019-05 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1809 for x64-based Systems (KB4497934) and keep getting Error 0x80070246
I have performed all the usual actions, deleted softwaredistribution files and reset catroot2. with the associated stops and starts of relevant processes.
I've run chkdsk with no issues. sfc /scannow will not run even in safe mode - resource protection system could not..... etc
CBS log shows a series of illegal character results the first of which is:
2019-06-10 16:53:49, Info CSI 00000002@2019/6/10:15:53:49.220 PopulateComponentFamiliesKey - Begin
2019-06-10 16:53:58, Error CSI 00000003@2019/6/10:15:53:58.174 (F) onecore\base\lstring\lblob.cpp(2133): Error STATUS_ILLEGAL_CHARACTER originated in function RtlTranscodeLBlobs expression: __rv.UcsCharacter != (0xffffffff)
[gle=0x80004005]
I am feeling as sure as I can be that I have a corrupted Components hive.
I 've noticed that this hive is sometimes uploaded for correction and I would like to know what tools and process I can perform to try to get to the bottom of this problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
