Hi

Apologies for the delay - please replace the COMPONENTS hive with this modified one.

Step 1 - Replace Components Hive Manually

Download COMPONENTS.ZIP from here and save to your desktop.
Right-click on it and select Extract all.... Make sure the "Show extracted files when complete" is checked and click Extract.
Now we have the COMPONENTS file that we will be using to replace your current one.
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\config
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.
Take the file from the Components folder on your desktop and paste it into C:\Windows\System32\config

Step#2 - DISM /RestoreHealth Scan

Once it finishes, copy and paste the following into the command-prompt window and press Enter. If prompted to overwrite the existing file go ahead.
copy %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log "%userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt"
Once this has completed please go to your Desktop and you will find CBS.txt => Please zip/upload to this thread.

Thank you very much!

Hi

Did the COMPONENTS hive I sent you copy into C:\Windows\System32\config successfully?

robb782 · Feb 9, 2021

Hi!

Yes all went fine.

Thank you

Hi

Please also do the following

Step#1 - FRST Scan

1. Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
Note: You need to run the 64-bit Version so please ensure you download that one.
2. Right-click FRST64.exe and click Run as Administrator to run it as administrator. When the tool opens, click Yes to disclaimer.
3. Please ensure you place a check mark in the Addition.txt check box at the bottom of the form before running (if not already checked).
4. Press Scan button.
5. It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from (which should now be the desktop)
6. Please attach the log back here.
7. Another log (Addition.txt - also located in the same directory as FRST64.exe) will be generated Please also attach that along with the FRST.txt in your reply.

And the second.

Hi

Are you able to uninstall the following programs - use revo uninstaller for this

Microsoft Flight Simulator SimConnect Client v10.0.60905.0
Microsoft Flight Simulator SimConnect Client v10.0.61242.0

Then try windows update again and attach CBS log if it fails.

robb782 · Feb 9, 2021

Hi!

I have uninstalled the programs listed and then tried windows update again, everything is working and the last updates correctly installed.

Thank you so much, always the best.

Donation coming

bruce1270 · Feb 9, 2021

That's great news the updates have installed.

Glad we could help and I'll mark as solved.

Thanks
