System: Windows 11 21H2

When trying to install monthly update, it always show error 0x80073701.

When I use DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth, it tells 0x800f081f, cannot find source.

The SFCfix cannot find any corruption.

When I try to install by windows 11 image, it failed because of 0x800f0955-0x20003 during INSTALL_UPDATES SAFE_OS stage.

Wondering how to fix, thanks.

  • SFCFix will launch, let it complete.
  • Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called SFCFix.txt.
  • Post the logfile (SFCFix.txt) as attachment in your next reply.


Step 2. Reboot the system and run the System File Checker again.
  • Click the Start button and in the search box, type Command Prompt
  • When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator.
  • When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following command into it, and press enter.
    Code: 
    sfc /scannow
  • Wait for this to finish before you continue
  • Now copy and paste the following command into it, and press enter.
    Code: 
    copy %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log "%userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt"
    This command will create cbs.txt on your Desktop. Zip this file and attach the zipped cbs.txt to your next post.

Hi,
