I am hoping that I might be able to get some help with my problem: Windows Update, sfc, DISM, SFCfix, and repair install all fail on my Windows 10 Pro 64-bit machine (version 1709).
SFC doesn't work at all. It just says "Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service."
Windows Update and DISM report error 0x8000FFFF. This also happens when trying to add/remove any Windows features.
The Windows repair install fails before the first reboot.
I tried safe mode, but it makes no difference.
I have attached logs, but SFCfix doesn't finish even after waiting for many hours, so I don't have the log file. It just halts after running DISM (DISM completes and displays the fail error, followed by the log file location) and there is no hard drive or CPU activity. Instead of the log, I just copied the command window output and saved that.
I ran chkdsk /r and it corrected errors with the volume bitmap. Also checked the SSD by running a long self test, and there were no problems.
Thanks for any help.
