Hi. I have issues running windows updates, it blue screens after a certain percentage.
I have tried to run SFC and DISM but they also fail due to corruption.

I have run the Components Scanner and it says there may be Major Hive Corruption.

I have screenshots of all the errors, as well as the CBS logs zipped up. If anyone is able to help I can send them over.

Thank you.

Hi,

Then I would suggest to backup all your personal data and reinstall Windows.
