[SOLVED] Windows 10 Pro update failure: 0x80073701

[givillow]

Hi,

I have been trying to install "Onderdelenupdate naar Windows 10, versie 22H2", but it fails with error "0x80073701".
My operating system is Windows 10 Pro - 21H1 (build 19043.1889).

I have followed all the steps as described in "Windows Update Forum Posting Instructions".

SFC Scan result: "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations."
DISM result: "Error: 0x800f081f"

Any help is much appreciated.

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

Could you please post a copy of the COMPONENTS hive.

Upload your COMPONENTS hive.

• Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file.
• 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.
• 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.
• If the file is too large to upload here, upload the file to www.wetransfer.com and post the link in your next reply.

Hi,

Step 1. Download

SFCFix and save it to your desktop.

• Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
• Download the attachment SFCFix.zip and save it to your desktop.
• Drag the SFCFix.zip file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it.

• SFCFix will launch, let it complete.
• Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called SFCFix.txt.
• Post the logfile (SFCFix.txt) as attachment in your next reply.

Step 2. Run the following DISM command and post the result. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS log.

DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth
