Lately, I've noticed that my Windows is taking longer than usual to load, so I suspected that the problem might be some error in Windows Update. When trying to perform the last update of Windows 8.1 (literally the last, as we won't have any more updates), I realized that my Windows Update is no longer working. The updates are not installed either manually, by downloading them directly from the Microsoft catalog. To solve the problem, I tried using DISM, but I always receive the error message that the source files could not be found (0x800f081f) . Even using all possible variables, limiting access to Windows Update (Limit Access), using a Windows 8.1 ISO, I receive the same error message. Can someone help me?

Obs: I disabled automatic updates to prevent Windows from being stuck in a loop searching for updates and trying to install them without success.

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Hello and welcome,

Provide the Components Hive
1. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file.
2. Please copy this file to your desktop.
Note: If you receive an error that this file is in-use, simply reboot your computer and try again. Note: If you find that you need to reboot and are unable to because this is a server then try Option#2 below.
3. Right-click on this file on your desktop and select Send To...Compressed (zipped) folder. This will create a file named COMPONENTS.ZIP on your desktop.
4. The file will likely be too large to upload here so please upload to Gofile or WeTransfer and just provide the link here.

Option#2 (only if you are unable to follow the previous instructions)

  • Please download the Freeware RegBak from here: Acelogix Software - Download products
     You will find it at the bottom of the page that the link brings you to.
  • Go ahead and install this program and accept all the defaults. After the last install screen the program should open.
  • Click the New Backup button. Accept the defaults and simply click Start.
  • When it says Finished successfully, click the Close button.
  • This will bring you back to the main screen of the program. You will see one entry in this list with the date that you did it. Right-click on this line-item and select Explore Backup...
  • This will bring you into the folder where the backup was made. You should see a Users folder and a Windows folder along with a couple other files. Double-click on the Windows folder to open it. Then open the System32 folder and then config folder. You should see around 6 files in here, one of which is named COMPONENTS.
  • Copy the COMPONENTS file to your Desktop. If the COMPONENTS file does not exist, please fetch it instead from C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS.
  • Now right-click on the COMPONENTS file that is on your desktop and select Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
  • Then please upload the zip file (COMPONENTS.zip) to your favourite file sharing website (it will be too big to upload here). Examples of services to upload to are Gofile or WeTransfer and then just provide the link in your reply.
  • You can close any open windows you have as well as the RegBak program now.

Try to install the last update of Windows 8.1 again and report the result.
 
I've been running since 1:22 PM (Now it's 4:18 PM), it's stuck at 8% since then. However, Windows Modules Installer Worker is using the disk.

It looks like Windows Update is downloading 3 updates. I don't know your available download speed.
I suggest to close everything related to "Opera Internet Browser" to free up CPU and memory usage.
Do not do anything else on this machine until the download and installation is completed.
 
My download speed is 200MB/s, I don't think that's the problem. It's been at 8% for 4 hours :(.
But I'll wait until later.
 
Restart the machine and try again.
 
Copy the file C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\cbs.log to your desktop. Zip the copied file and attach the zipped cbs.log to your next reply.
