[SOLVED] Windows update and SFC failures

[BREGIT]

I keep getting errors on trying to install the most recent Windows update. It restarts and then says there was an error and reverting the changes.

I am running Windows 10 Pro on a 64 bit machine.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi Softwaremaniac. The I have already gone through SFC and all of the DISM steps. That attached log files in the first post are the result of those running .

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

I am aware, but I want you to run it again to partially automate the fix.

 

[BREGIT]

Thanks again for your help. Please see attached.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Please retry updates and attach CBS.log and C:\Windows\Inf\setupapi.dev.log.

 

[BREGIT]

Tried updates as requested. Went all the way through update process rebooted and then failed again. Requested logs attached.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Thanks.

Please run the following commands from an elevated Command Prompt pressing Enter after each:

cd c:\windows\system32
lodctr /R
cd c:\windows\sysWOW64
lodctr /R

 

[BREGIT]

Both come back with the following error:

Error: Unable to rebuild performance counter setting from system backup store, error code is 5

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Please run the following command first:

c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

 

[BREGIT]

This is the message I get:

The error indicates that IIS is not installed on the machine. Please install IIS before using this tool.
Finished installing ASP.NET (2.0.50727).

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Did you make sure that you ran the commands above with the Command Prompt launched as Administrator?

 

[BREGIT]

Absolutely. Right-clicked, run as administrator. Ran again with same result.

[Sysnative Windows Update]

I meant the commands above that.

 

[BREGIT]

Tried again running as admin. One failure, one success.

c:\Windows\System32>lodctr /R

Error: Unable to rebuild performance counter setting from system backup store, error code is 2
c:\Windows\System32>cd c:\windows\sysWOW64

c:\Windows\SysWOW64>lodctr /R

Info: Successfully rebuilt performance counter setting from system backup store
c:\Windows\SysWOW64>

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Try the one that failed again.

 

[BREGIT]

Info: Successfully rebuilt performance counter setting from system backup store
c:\Windows\System32>

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Good. Retry updates now.

 

[BREGIT]

That worked that time. Thank you very much for your assistance.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Excellent!

As for SFC error, these are a bug and can be safely ignored.
