[SOLVED] Windows 8.1 "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" error "2147023838"

Gunther · Jun 25, 2015

Windows 8.1 "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" error "2147023838"

I'm having trouble with said service and by extension everything relying on it (such as Windows Update).

Its status is "stopped" and if I try to start it I get an error which says

Code:

 Windows could not start the Background Intelligent Transfer Service on local computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code -2147023838.

If I check the Event Log, I find two messages related to this:

Code:

The BITS service failed to start. Error 0x80070422.

And

Code:

The Background Intelligent Transfer Service service terminated with the following service-specific error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

I tried with "sfc /scannow" and got the following message at the end:

Code:

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. Note that logging is currently not supported in offline servicing scenarios.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to look for in this file but there was only one result by searching for "corrupt" and it was this segment:

I ran your SFCFIX, at some point it asked for a Windows DVD but I don't have that, I installed Windows from a Bootable USB. I plugged said USB in but I don't think the program recognized it.
It had this to say at the end:

After SFCFIX I ran both SDC and DSIM again;

SCF said it found corrupt files but couldn't fix them.
I attach the CBS log, also here's the highlights:

Well, your administrator decided I can't edit my posts, so I'm going to doublepost.

Dism is done. It says:

Code:

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 6.3.9600.17031

Image Version: 6.3.9600.17031

[==========================100.0%==========================]

Error: 0x80240021

DISM failed. No operation was performed.
For more information, review the log file.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log

C:\Windows\System32>

And the log is a bit big at almost 6MBs, so I put it on TINYUPLOAD.

I'm seeing lots of views but no replies...
Don't be shy, I'll gladly provide any extra information you'd like.

Re: Windows 8.1 "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" error "2147023838"

Well, noone helped so I fixed it myself.

BITS needs two services to be running, even though they're not in the dependencies.

They are:
Network List Service
Network Location Awareness
