I really don't know how to start this off....but basically, my Windows is INCREDIBLY damaged.
I have NOT been able to update since around 2016/2017
and I've tried so many times to fix it that I've given up so I forgot the error code when trying to update, but I'll make sure to post it here tomorrow if needed.
Since last week my windows has been taking a LOT more than usual time to start up, and at sudden points, something incredibly strange happens: I'm able to use the window I'm currently on (browser), but any time I click on another app, I cannot close it. As soon as that happens, I know that my pc session is basically over. From that point on, everything stops working, it seems like windows works fine but I'm unable to click on windows.exe , open up task manager, or press the windows button, the browser starts hanging around, and I have to restart it. 2 days ago this happened right after turning on my PC - 3 times in a row... and the 4th time I've tried to turn it on, the BIOS screen stayed on "analysis and restoring C unit.. 0%..1%" etc. until it turned on again
This event scared me so much that I was worried that my PC would just stop working forever, it was a problem that's been haunting me FOREVER, and I'm surprised my PC is still working "decently"... but the effects are very noticeable
So let's get this started, my PC's language is ITALIAN, but I hope it won't be a problem.
SFC /scannow gives me "Protezione risorse di Windows: impossibile eseguire l'operazione richiesta"
which translates to Windows Resource Protection: impossible to execute the requested operation
DISM gives me: Errore 1009 Database del Registro di sistema danneggiato. and log fille is C:\Windows\Logs\Dism\dism.log which translates to: System registry database is damaged.
CBS.rar file is uploaded, I've taken a look and even though I'm not an expert, I've noticed something that's probably causing this
( Failed to load the COMPONENTS hive from 'C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS' into registry key 'HKLM\COMPONENTS'. [HRESULT = 0x800703f1 - ERROR_BADDB] )
I've tried to load the components file myself, and it did confirm it was damaged.
I've tried upgrading to Windows 10, and it gives me an error (I might miss a zero here and there but...) 0x80070001 2000F error in safe_os in phase migrate_data , something along those lines.
This has been going on for years, and every time I've been looking for a fix, I've found many "supposed fixes" which just...didn't work, and each time I gave up, slowly forgetting about the issue, until something happened which made me worried enough to check back on it again, only to give up on it a few hours later
I don't know if posting here will help me out, I'm so surprised by how passionate some of you are... it's really hard to believe that some of you have been so kind to help people out here for years! :)
