Windows Update and Reset Issues - Error: 800703F1/80070490

For a while my Windows Updates has not been working. It comes up with the error code 800703F1 (I have Windows 8 btw). It was recommended to me that I should do Windows Refresh or Reset to solve the issue but every time I try to it comes up with the error 80070490.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :)

I ran the SFCfix and these are the results:

Hello and welcome to the forum.

This is not a good error that is occurring inside SFCFix, hopefully the COMPONENTS hive is still in tact or this will get rather complicated.


Can you please go the following location C:\Windows\System32\config and look for the following files:
-COMPONENTS
-Any other files that start with the word COMPONENTS
-Or any files that have a similar name to COMPONENTS (it could be spelt different, have a number, a symbol etc)
If you find any please create a folder on your desktop and copy and paste all these files into this folder.
Next can you please zip this folder and upload them for me to analyze? The file may be too big to attach to this post, please use either Dropbox or One Drive.
  1. Right click on the
    aa922834-ed43-40f1-8830-d5507badb56c_39.jpg
    button
  2. Click on Command prompt (Admin) => Press Yes on the prompt
  3. Inside the Command Prompt windows copy and paste the following command
    dir %systemroot%\System32\config >1&&notepad 1
    [*]Please post the contents of the notepad file back into this thread

 
Thanks for your response.

This is the Components Zip folder: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=28F615E43618319C!1380&authkey=!AHAtFv-ro4_tk7s&ithint=file,zip


This is the contents of the notepad:

I am confused which folder did you get the COMPONENTS hive from? Was it inside of C:\windows\System32\config or another folder?
 
There is also another components folder under C:\Windows.old\Windows\System32\config which I've attached
 
The file is not being shown inside:
Code:

This is odd, as SFCFIx is not seeing the file there either.

Open command prompt as an admin and run this command:
reg load HKLM\COMPONENTS %windir%\System32\config\COMPONENTS

Does it load?
 
Its weird, the CMD is showing that file is not there and SFCFix could not load the file.

SFC /SCANNOW
  1. Right click on the
    aa922834-ed43-40f1-8830-d5507badb56c_39.jpg
    button
  2. Click on Command prompt (Admin) => Press Yes on the prompt
  3. Inside the Command Prompt windows copy and paste the following command SFC /SCANNOW
  4. Please wait for this to Finish before continuing with rest of the steps.
Convert CBS.log to CBS.txt
  1. Right click on the
    aa922834-ed43-40f1-8830-d5507badb56c_39.jpg
    button
  2. Click on Run => Inside the run box copy and paste the following command:
    Code:
    cmd /c copy %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log "%userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt"
  3. Press Enter
  4. Once this has completed please go to your Desktop and you will find CBS.txt => Please upload CBS.txt to this thread
Please Note:: if the file is too big to upload to you next post please upload via Dropbox or One Drive


Please run this command:
dir %systemroot%\System32\config /a >1&&notepad 1


We should hopefully be on the right tack of getting this fixed for you after the next post :)
 
Hi, I tried running the SFC /SCANNOW but it came up with: Windows Resource Protection Could Not Start the Repair Service
 
Hello again :)

Please upload the CBS log and run the other command. The CBS log is normally very good at recording the errors of failed SFC scans.

Alex
 
Okay so I tried to run the command and look for the file on the Desktop but I can't seem to find it.

Also when I tried to run the second command it said 'Windows can't find 'dir'
 
No worries, we will just grab the whole folder:

Export CBS folder

  1. Right click on the
    aa922834-ed43-40f1-8830-d5507badb56c_39.jpg
    button
  2. Click on File Explorer
  3. Double-click on the C: drive, under the Hard Disk Drives category, and then scroll down to, and double click on the Windows folder.
  4. Find and double click on the Logs folder.
  5. Right-click on the CBS folder, and select Copy.
  6. Go back to your Desktop, right-click on it, and select Paste. You should now see a copy of the CBS folder appear on your Desktop called CBS.
  7. Right-click on this new folder, and navigate through Send to, and select Compressed (zipped) folder.
  8. A new file, also called CBS (CBS.zip), but this time with a different icon, will be created.
  9. Attach this to your next post please.
Please Note:: if the file is too big to upload to you next post please upload via Dropbox or One Drive
 
SFC /SCANNOW is always having an issue loading the hive.
