[SOLVED] Windows 11 Update Errors

[Artemis7777]

Hello, I seem to be unable to install Windows updates (I also randomly have a lot of them), and it is showing error codes 0x800f703f1, 0x800701030, and 0x80070002 when I try to install them.

The following is the output in the command prompt when I run these commands:

C:\Windows\system32>reg load HKLM\COMPONENTS c:\windows\system32\config\components
The operation completed successfully.

C:\Windows\system32>
C:\Windows\system32>reg load HKLM\DRIVERS c:\windows\system32\config\drivers
ERROR: The configuration registry database is corrupt.

And this should be my drivers file:

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

Replace Drivers Hive Manually

Warning: this fix is specific to the user in this thread. No one else should follow these instructions as it may cause more harm than good. If you are after assistance, please start a thread of your own.

1. Download DRIVERS.ZIP and save to your desktop.
2. Right-click on it and select Extract all.... Make sure the "Show extracted files when complete" is checked and click Extract.
3. Now we have the DRIVERS file that we will be using to replace your current one.
4. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\config
5. Right-click on the current DRIVERS file and select rename. Rename it to DRIVERS.bad.
   Note: If you get an error that the file is in use, reboot your computer and then try again.
6. Take the file from the Drivers folder on your desktop and paste it into C:\Windows\System32\config

Afterwards reboot the system and attempt to update. If it fails attach the latest CBS logs and the following logfile.

Upload the setupapi.dev.log file

• Open Windows Explorer and browse to the C:\Windows\INF folder.
• Right-click on the file setupapi.dev.log and choose Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
• Now the message will appear, "Windows cannot create the Compressed (zipped) Folder here. Do you want it to be placed on the desktop instead?"
• Click on the Yes button here.

• Attach the file setupapi.dev.zip in your next reply.

Hello, unfortunately I was still unable to update. The only thing that's changed as far as I can tell is that the command from earlier now returns "The operation completed successfully". I have attached the requested files.

Hi,

Please 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

This looks good, which error appears when you try to update?

I am now only getting error code 0x80070103.

This system is up-to-date as it seems, the latest out-of-band update (KB5063060) is also installed, so I would suggest to wait for the upcoming cumulative update for July to see if it will install successfully or not.

Okay something did something and I was able to update my drivers via the Lenovo website (I wasn't able to before) and it fixed most of my major problems (which included my second monitor not working, a couple of my adapters (display adapter, bluetooth adapter, and audio device) not working/missing, a lot of my applications not running (mostly seemed to be video games), etc.). So thank you so much for that. Oh, I also just checked and I was able to complete all my updates too. So it seems like all of my issues have been solved. Thank you so much :)

You're welcome. Glad to hear everything is up-and-running again..
