I am looking for help with a Windows Update problem - error 0x800700c1
Issue:
When I try to run Windows update, it doesn't work and gives error 0x800700c1
SFC: Could not start the repair service.
DISM: Error: 0x8000ffff
DISM.log attached.
Any and all help greatly appreciated, thank you very much in advance!
