Windows update error (0x800f0900)

kkuphal · Nov 17, 2023

Round 8
DISM ended at 47.1 (similar error as original steps - not last)
The WOF driver encountered a corruption in the compressed file's Resource Table.
No crash. Unsure if this was an ongoing issue. Came to head after cloning to larger SSD (crucial/acronis) and noticed couldn't perform updates, etc.

A bad clone should be the cause of all the corruptions in this case...

Step 1.
Warning: This fix was written specifically for this system. Do not run this fix on another system.

Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
Download the attachment SFCFix.zip and save it to your desktop.
Drag the SFCFix.zip file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it.

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. Run the following DISM command and post the result. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS log.

Code:

DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

This is going to be a tough job to fix! Especially since all corruptions are related to build 19045.3636 which is a preview update? Because we make a little progress after each fix, I think it would be better to perform a repair install at this point. This is the quickest way to resolve all the corruptions.

Windows 10 Repair Install
This will reinstall and update the operating system and fix any corruptions, without removing any file or program. But make always a backup of all your important data!

Go to this Microsoft page and under the title Create Windows 10 installation media press on Download tool now.
Save the tool on your Desktop and double click to run it.
On the License terms page, if you accept the license terms, select Accept.
On the What do you want to do page, select Create installation media (USB....) and then select Next.
Choose the ISO file option. Once the download is complete, right click the ISO and select the option Mount.
Open the Windows File Explorer and open mounted ISO, and run the setup.exe file.
Follow the instructions and click on the option Change what to keep.
Select the option Keep personal files and apps and click next.
Windows Setup will now start the in-place upgrade installation to repair Windows.

Will give it a shot. Previous repair installation attempt failed in the second_boot pre_oobe with error codes 0x8007042b 0x4001e
Will advise here shortly

Maxstar · Nov 17, 2023

Ah, when you get this error: 0x8007042b 0x4001e again, please try to perform a repair install (in-place-upgrade) without an active internet connection.

P.s. is this system legally activated or using a (crack) KMS toolkit?

kkuphal · Nov 17, 2023

Thanks. The online repair is currently running. If it fails will try offline but that will have to be later this evening when I'm physically at the machine
This is legally activated. This cloned SSD was from an ACER desktop moved to an Intel NUC that I had freed up after purchasing a newer NUC.
Before: ACER Desktop, Intel NUC (previous gen)
Now: Intel NUC (Previous gen), Intel NUC (current gen)

kkuphal · Nov 17, 2023

In case it helps, here is the setuperr from the Panther folder of the failed online upgrade
Similar messages as to what CBS was saying but specifically from Defender

Will try the offline update tonight

Hi,

If it failed, please post the result of the following commands in an elevated command prompt.

Code:

diskpart
list volume

kkuphal · Nov 18, 2023

Thanks. Had a chance to do a full offline (no ethernet, no wifi) repair install
Failed with the same error as before (PRE_OOBE, etc.)

Hi,

Download the

Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop:

Download the 64 bit version: - Farbar Recovery Scan Tool Link

Note: Your antivirus program may report FRST incorrectly as an infection. If so, disable the real-time protection when downloading and running FRST.
Right-click to run the tool as administrator. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
Note: Ensure that the Addition.txt check box is checked at the bottom of the form within the Optional Scan area.
Press the Scan button.
Please wait for the tool to finish. It will produce two logfiles called FRST.txt and Addition.txt in the same directory the tool is run from (which should be the desktop)
Post the logfiles FRST.txt and Addition.txt as attachment in your next reply.
