Hi, guys, my Windows Update(Win8.1 64bits) stop working a few weeks ago with error code 800703F1.
I already tried to use DISM and SFCFix to solve the problem, but they both end with same error code 1009.
SFCFix screen shot is below, , and log files for CBS, DISM and SFCFix are at Dropbox - log files of CBS DISM and SFCFix.zip
Thank you.

Hello and welcome!

Retrieve Components Hive
1. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file.
2. Please copy this file to your desktop.
Note: If you receive an error that this file is in-use, simply reboot your computer and try again.
3. Right-click on this file on your desktop and select Send To...Compressed (zipped) folder. This will create a file named COMPONENTS.ZIP on your desktop.
4. The file will likely be too large to upload here so please upload to a file sharing service and just provide the link here.

OMG, I forgot to upload that. Here is the COMPONENT file.

Step#1 - Capture Process Monitor Trace
1. Download and run Process Monitor. Leave this running while you perform the next steps.
2. Try running DISM just like you have in the past.
3. Stop Process Monitor as soon as it fails. You can simply do this by clicking the magnifying glass on the toolbar as shown below.

4. Select the File menu...Save... and save the file to your desktop. This is likely the default location. The name (unless changed) will be LogFile.PML. This is fine.
5. Zip up and attach the LogFile.PML file as well as your CBS.log

Ok, trace is done, files are below.

Would you be interested in upgrading to Windows 10?

 

[szoo]

Well, I just downgraded from Win10 a few months age, because the Etron USB 3.0 caused a lot of Watchdog/IRQ/Kernel BSOD on Win10.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

The downgrade apparently is/was not successful as your hive got corrupted in the process. Have you tested the HDD?

 

[szoo]

I don't think the downgrade cause the problem, because I did the downgrade by re-format.
But the HDD maybe need some test, any software recommend to test NVMe SSD ?

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

That is even more concerning. You have reformatted the drive? When did the issues start? Was there a sudden power outage maybe?

You can test the NVME with its manufacturer's tool. I cannot be more precise, because I do not have the info on the NVME.

 

[szoo]

I used the tool from the NVMe's manufacturer to examine the SSD, and report didn't show any error.
About two months before windows update stopped working, My PC had several power outages, Maybe that's the cause ?

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

This may have caused some damage, yes.

 

[szoo]

So, will doing re-format again be the best solution so far ?

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

A repair install/In-Place upgrade so you can keep all of your data intact :)
