[SOLVED] Windows Server 2019 - Driver store corruption and Windows Update 0x800703f1

[si124]

I have exactly the same problem, like it is described in this thread:

W10 1903 - Driver store corruption and Windows Update 0x800703f1​

sfc /scannow
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
report no errors.
But after using:
Dism /Online /Get-Drivers
I have reponse:
Error: 1009 - The configuration registry database is corrupt.

I attach my Drivers Hive file. I hope for the solution.
Thanks in advance!

Problem solved!

The solution is very simple. Maybe it will help to someone.....
We know the problem is in C:\Windows\System32\config\DRIVERS file.

I setup the temp VM Windows 10.
Copy DRIVERS file to VM.
Run regedit.exe
Inside go to HKLM and load hive (DRIVERS).
While there is corrupted file, the command results error, but load the hive in anyway.
Then I exported loaded hive in new hive (DRIVERS1). Delete old DRIVERS and renamed DRIVERS1 to DRIVERS.
Than I replaced old DRIVERS file on server with new one.

Everything works!!!
