Please go navigate to C:\Windows\winsxs and copy any files with a similar name to pending.xml (e.g. pending.xml, pending.xml.bad, pending.xml_dfsadf78 etc.) to your folder on the Desktop [there may not be any, just if there are].
Was there any??
DISM Revert Pending Actions
How to use the Windows 8 System Recovery Environment Command Prompt
First command to enter is
wmic logicaldisk get name. you will be given a similar output to:
Code:
X:\Sources>wmic logicaldisk get name
Name
C:
D:
E:
X:
Now when you are in the RE the drive letters will often move around. start with the first letter that was provided in the list and enter in the following command (for this example we will use C:\ as it is the first one)
dir C:\
-This will display all the folders in the root drive of C
Can you see a folder called C:\Windows in list?
-If you can see C:\Windows then run the DISM command as
DISM /Image:C:\ /Cleanup-Image /RevertPendingActions
If you can not see the Windows folder move onto the next Drive letter that we obtained with
wmic logicaldisk get name and type in
dir <DRIVE LETTER> (replace <DRIVE LETTER> with the drive you would like to check), can you see the Windows Folder?
-If yes, enter in the following command
DISM /Image:C:\ /Cleanup-Image /RevertPendingActions and changed the C to what ever Drive letter has the Windows folder
Its just a case of going through each drive letter that was produced from the first list until the Windows folder is found then run the DISM command on that drive
