The problem started with Windows Update not working. "Errors found: Code 80080005 Windows Update encountered an unknown error."

I think I have narrowed it down to the following root cause: my configuration registry database is corrupt.
Here is my question: how do I fix my configuration registry database without doing an in-place upgrade or reinstall?
Some symptoms:

  • Starting Windows Modules Installer in services.msc gives me "Error 1009: The configuration registry database is corrupt."
  • sfc /scannow in elevated cmd prompt yields "Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service."
  • C:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log shows:

I have tried resetting Windows Update, I have tried installing the Windows Update Readiness Tool to troubleshoot but failed installing it, I have tried the Registry key with RegistrySizeLimit, and a bunch of others I can't remember.

Basically, my problem boils down to this link which shows some people running into this very same issue but no solution, as far as I can tell.
Someone on reddit pointed me to https://www.sysnative.com/forums/windows-update/3791-windows-update-not-working.html, which prompted me to post here. I tried to load the COMPONENTS hive as described here, but I get the following error: "Cannot load COMPONENTS: Error while loading hive." The file is around 30 MB, the total folder size is around 100 MB, way below the 2 GB limit...

Any ideas or pointers?
I do not have a system restore point, btw, so that is not an option... I assume there must be an easy way out, since I don't really have a custom config, so I am sure restoring some standard registry keys must fix this...
 
Hello awayand, welcome to Sysnative!

I've never seen a corrupt servicing stack before, but the 0x800703f1 points me in the direction of registry corruption, so let's have a look at your COMPONENTS hive:

Upload a file to Dropbox

Note: If you prefer, the same techniques can be applied to your Skydrive however these instructions may not necessarily work for Skydrive.

  1. If you haven't already created a Dropbox account, please do so Here
  2. Although this procedure can be done directly through the website, it is much easier to do so via the Windows client which can be downloaded from the Dropbox website:

    https://www.dropbox.com/install
  3. After you have downloaded and installed that, you should now see Dropbox in your Favourites box in Windows Explorer. This is the folder that will be synchronised with the Dropbox servers, anything that you wish to back up online can be put in here, but today we will be using it to transfer files.

    Favourites%20list.PNG


  4. To access your Dropbox folder, just click on the link in the top left hand corner of Windows Explorer (accessible from any location - Documents etc.). Alternatively, you can double click on the icon
    icon.jpg
    found in your system tray (next to the time). If you are still having issues locating this folder, unless otherwise specified, it can be found under this location: C:\Users\{Your username}\Dropbox
  5. Copy all of the following files to the Public folder in your Dropbox:
    • C:\Windows\system32\config\components (it has no file extension)

  6. Select all files by pressing Ctrl+A then right-click and select Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder
  7. This will create a .zip
    zip_icon.png
    file in your Public folder.
  8. Right-click on this file and select
    icon.jpg
    Copy Public Link then Paste (Ctrl+V) this link into your next post for me please

I cannot delete this post, I have moved it over into the "Windows Update" Forum. Thanks for your understanding!
 
Oh hi Tom, I just moved this thread over to the Windows Update forum. Shoot. What do I do now? I wish I could delete my posts... Anway, I will follow your instructions and respond here!
 
Hi awayand,

I'm afraid I have some bad news for you - your registry hive is damaged beyond repair. There is a block of 65536 bytes of data in your hive (00001000-00001FFF) that has changed to complete garbage, see here:

awayand_1.jpg

Your COMPONENTS hive is the window open in the top left of the screenshot. As you can see the markers at the start of the hive are missing and instead you have a seemingly random sequence of unicode characters. Here is the your hive on it's own:

awayand_2.jpg

The start of the hive is a crucial part and lists the subkeys and values in the root folder of the hive, here's mine for example:

I think it's safe to say that they're quite different! Windows is failing to load your COMPONENTS hive (with error 0x800703f1) because it cannot read this information about the subkeys within the hive and, although the majority of the information is still in your hive without any form of damage, the structure of the hive is so damaged Windows can't process it.

This simply isn't fixable, the damage is too severe. To resolve this you will have to do a repair install:

Hi Tom,

I was afraid you would say that. Thanks a million for this! I wonder if my drive is failing, I kept getting some corrupted files errors and did a check of the drive using HD sentinel but it reported everything was fine. Anyway, that'll teach me to do a system restore checkpoint next time, a backup by itself seems not enough.

Thanks a lot!
 
Hi awayand,

You're most welcome! I had a few attempts at repairing the raw binary of the hive and managed to get it to a state where it would load in regedit, but regardless of what I tried, I couldn't get the subkeys to appear.

How old is the drive? The extent of the problem suggests it might be a hardware problem.

chkdsk /f

Thanks again, Tom!

I have run chkdsk a few weeks ago, so here is the output from the tool without running chkdsk right now. I will run chkdsk again tomorrow and post the results.

Hi Andre,

No issues there! I would go ahead with the repair install now.

Also, I have been following your Reddit post and none of their 'fixes' will improve matters. COMPONENT hives are specific to a computer and can't be interchanged, nor can they be taken off a Windows DVD. As the name suggests, the hive contains information on the components on your computer - Names, version, file path, update they originated from, hash etc. so if you use another hive in place of your own then Windows will lose track of what's installed and what's not, getting very confused in the process. If someone posts a fix on Reddit that looks promising, I urge you to run it by me before going ahead with it because by the look of what some of the users are saying, I'm not sure how much they understand what they are telling you to do :)
