Looks like the SCHEMA hive may not be loading.

Please manually upload the components hive by following these instructions:

Upload SCHEMA Hive

1. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\
2. Right-click on the current SCHEMA file and select copy
   Note: If you get an error that the file is in use, reboot your computer and then try again.
3. Right-click on your Desktop and select paste
4. Right-click on the SCHEMA file on your Desktop and select Send To -> Compressed (zipped) Folder
5. Upload the zip from your Desktop to a file sharing service such as DropBox, OneDrive, SendSpace, etc. and include the link with your reply.

When i navigate to C:\Windows\System32\SMI\Store it is completely empty, not even a Machine folder, even though I have turned on both hidden and systemfiles to be shown

I have tried create a dir called C:\Windows\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\ but it didn't change the fact that Windows Update fail...

 

[zcomputerwiz]

Do you have any backup images of this machine?

 

[phahh3]

Nope, but I just checked my other Windows 8.1 Pro PC, it doesn't have that folder either and Windows Update works fine on that one ?

Uhm it seems that's for Windows Vista ??

 

[zcomputerwiz]

Nope, but I just checked my other Windows 8.1 Pro PC, it doesn't have that folder either and Windows Update works fine on that one ?

Very interesting. This is with hidden files and folders etc. visible?

 

[phahh3]

Now CleanBoot is also tried, it didn't help

But I won't run it unless you tell me it is safe to do ?

Let's try this.

I've created an empty SCHEMA.DAT file. Try unzipping it and then placing it in that folder.

Ok I will try that and run Windows Update again, do you want any log files etc afterwards ?

 

[zcomputerwiz]

Yes, if the updates fail zip and attach C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log

 

[phahh3]

Think it all got solved, thanks a lot :)
Just to be safe and 100 % sure, here is my new SMI and CBS files:

Dropbox - SMI_v2.zip
Dropbox - CBS_v2.zip

 

[phahh3]

Yes, if the updates fail zip and attach C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log

Just uploaded the files above, to be sure, nothing is overseen and need to be solved ??

 

[zcomputerwiz]

Looks good as far as I can tell :)
