Win 7 Clconfg.dll corrupted

Deuce · Feb 27, 2016

I was having an issue with downloading new updates, and have noticed some problems with my laptop recently, so have been trying to fix them. I'm an IT Tech by trade, so usually this is no problem for me.

Basically though, I've come across something I can't solve. I've just run the SFCFix tool, which is showing that cliconfg.dll is corrupt and the Windows Update Readiness tool shows Error 80070057. See the attached log file.

I've already tried numerous repairs including - The Windows Update Readiness tool, the System File Check tool from command prompt, chkdsk, CCleaner, SpyBot, and the Windows Update Diagnostic tool.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks guys.

Hi and welcome to Sysnative. This will likely involve several rounds of fixes. Let's start with the following.

Step#1 - SFCFix Script
Warning: this fix is specific to the user in this thread. No one else should follow these instructions as it may cause more harm than good. If you are after assistance, please start a thread of your own.

Download SFCFix.exe (by niemiro) and save this to your Desktop. If you still have this on your desktop from downloading previously, you don't need to re-download.
Download the file below, SFCFix.zip, and save this to your Desktop. Ensure that this file is named SFCFix.zip - do not rename it.
Save any open documents and close all open windows.
On your Desktop, you should see two files: SFCFix.exe and SFCFix.zip.
Drag the file SFCFix.zip onto the file SFCFix.exe and release it.
SFCFix will now process the script.
Upon completion, a file should be created on your Desktop: SFCFix.txt.
Copy (Ctrl+C) and Paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of this file into your next post for me to analyse please

Step#2 - 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.

Please Note:: if the file is too big to upload to your next post please upload via a service such as Dropbox or One Drive or SendSpace and just provide the link.

Step#3 - System Update Readiness Tool (SUR)
1. Download and run the following file.
2. When it asks you if you wish to install, please answer yes. Note: It could take 15 minutes or more to run. Please don't cancel.
3. You will get an Installation Complete screen when it's done running.
