Windows Update error 80070002 (Windows 7)

dc92 · Aug 26, 2015

Hello,

My dell laptop (win 7) isn't able to scan for updates, giving me the error code 80070002.
I'm also met with an error when using the command sfc /scannow, "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.
I've looked through numerous other forums and ran the microsoft self-diagnostic tools, but nothing has worked thus far.
I also ran sysnative's own repair tool and will include the log file below.

Thanks for any help you can provide,

The SFCFix program never completed, I let it sit for a few hours. Is there anything else I need to do to ensure the process completes?

Here is the components hive: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9xzwysoeinxwqej/components.zip?dl=0

It seems that you have quite a bit of BitShifts in the Registry. This is often caused by hardware failure coming from the RAM stick(s), hard drive or processor (CPU). This being said, we'll test all three individually to make sure that they aren't failing, because if one hardware components is, you'll have to change it.

We'll start with the hard drive since it's the easiest to test. Follow the instructions below please.

GSmartControl
Follow the instructions below to test your hard drive health with GSmartControl:

Download GSmartControl and save it on your Desktop;
Extract the content of the GSmartControl .zip archive and execute gsmartcontrol.exe;
Identify your drive in the list, and double-click on it to bring up it's window (usually you'll find your drive by it's size or it's brand name);
Go in the Perform Tests tab, then select Extended Self-test in the Test type drop-down list and click on Execute (this test can take a few hours to complete);
Once the test is over, the results will be displayed at the bottom of the window. Please copy and paste these results in your next reply;
Also, go in the Attributes tab and if you have any entries highlighted in red or pink, copy and paste their name in your next reply (or take a screenshot of the GSmartControl window and attach it in your next reply);

dc92 · Aug 28, 2015

Test result: Completed without error.

Only one highlighted attribute:

Alright, we'll test all your RAM sticks next using Memtest86+. The procedure can be found in the guide below.

https://www.sysnative.com/forums/hardware-tutorials/3909-test-ram-memtest86.html

You'll need to test each RAM stick individually as it's easier to identify the bad one(s) after.

dc92 · Aug 28, 2015

I'm a little unclear as to what it means when it asks for 7-10 passes.
Memtest is showing 100% pass over 9 tests so far. Is that considered 1 pass or 9?
I'll let it go longer regardless.

Edit: it just reset the number of tests and noted 1 pass, so it'll be going a lot longer.

Idk if it's worth mentioning, but I recently tested the ram as part of resolving an unrelated problem (this Windows update problem predated the other one).

Aura · Aug 29, 2015

Yes, it's quite long but it's necessary in order to make sure that your RAM stick(s) is/aren't failing. When did you do that test, how long ago?

dc92 · Aug 30, 2015

Alright I've gotten 10 passes.

Aura · Aug 30, 2015

Alright, now let's run SFCFix with the BitShift:: command and let it complete. You can do it overnight if you have to :)
