[kodiwankonobe]

Windows 10 Pro is not updating - Error 8000ffff
KB4577586, KB5007289, and Feature update for Windows 10, Version 22H2

Tried following some threads and performed sfc /scannow, DISM would not complete. More searching led me to this site. Downloaded and ran ComponentScanner.

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

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.
