Hello, i need help. For some time, my Windows started to work badly (the USB ports hardly recognized any device, not even pen drivers or my printer, among many others). Everything was suddenly, but then I realized that when I entered "device manager", I could not update the drivers of any of them either. there always appeared an error in the registry. After reading on the Internet, I realized that it could be Windows Update problem, and indeed, when I wanted to update (I tried to update from Windows 8 to 8.1, but it did not work either), I always gave the error code 800703F1, preventing me from updating anything.

The thing is, I tried the process that appears on this web page regarding problems with Windows Update and SFCFix, but it says: Windows found corrupted files, but can not repair them. Error: 3017. All the time. What can I do? In step 4, it appears: "you need to post us the complete logfile which opens on exit", but nothing opens to me after the process due to this error. I have my CBS.zip here, to see if it's any good, in case you can take a look. Thanks a lot in advance.
