Windows 8 will not complete updates

Glesgaboy · May 20, 2014

Thank you for existing - good to know help is out there somewhere. I am not technically savvy - attempting to update Windows 8 to 8.1 and keep getting error code - at least 3 updates appear not to be completing.

Hello, and welcome to Sysnative!

Unfortunately, this error code is one of the very few which is likely to be unfixable.

Can you please read this guide of mine: https://www.sysnative.com/forums/wi...fix-windows-update-error-code-0x80073712.html

It doesn't explicitly list your error code, but the problem (corruption COMPONENTS hive) is exactly the same. I need to see a copy of your COMPONENTS hive to be sure, but basically, it's unlikely to be good news.

I am truly very sorry.
