Windows 10 Corrupt Configuration Registry Database

[gordfalk]

I have (another) system that is failing to apply Windows Updates. DISM reports that the Configuration Registry Database is Corrupt.

The necessary files can be found here.

Below is the output from SFCFix.

Thanks in advance.

Replace Components Hive Manually

!!! WARNING !!! The following fix is only relevant for this system and no other, applying this fix on another computer will not work and most likely will cause problems...

1. Download COMPONENTS2.ZIP and save it to the Desktop.
2. Right-click on it and select Extract all.... Make sure the "Show extracted files when complete" is checked and click Extract.
3. Now you have the COMPONENTS file that we will be using to replace your current one.
4. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\config
5. Right-click on the current COMPONENTS file and select rename. Rename it to COMPONENTS.bad.
   Note: If you get an error that the file is in use, reboot your computer and then try again.
6. Take the file from the Components folder on your desktop and paste it into C:\Windows\System32\config
