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.

DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

p.s. You do not have to post the DISM log..

OK we are getting somewhere now, or so I thought :)
DISM succeeded so I restarted the system and tried to update.
The update failed.

Please run Windows Update again while Process Monitor is running.

Step#1 - Capture Process Monitor Trace
1. Download and run Process Monitor. Leave this running while you perform the next steps.
2. Try updating the system just like you have in the past.
3. Stop Process Monitor as soon as it fails. You can simply do this by clicking the square (CTRL +E) on the toolbar as shown below.



4. Select the File menu...Save... and save the file to your desktop. This is likely the default location. The name (unless changed) will be LogFile.PML. This is fine.
5. Zip up the LogFile.PML and upload it to WeTransfer - Send Large Files & Share Photos Online - Up to 2GB Free and provide the link.

Hi,

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 SFCFixScript.txt and save it to your desktop.
• Drag the SFCFixScript.txt 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.

Reboot the system and try to update Windows, if it fails attach a new copy of the CBS log.

So I run the SFCFix, restarted and then did the update.
The update failed, but the CBS log was still used and it seemed that it was downloading and repairing stuff just after the update.
The first part related to the windows update showed some error but no relevant packages.
In the 2nd part after the download percentages and repair there there was a message that it repaired 2 corrupt manifests.
So I thought I might try a DISM restore health after the whole process.
That failed as well, I am attaching the relevant log.

If you want me to re-run the windows update to get the CBS log for that I can do that as well.
I think this failure has something to do with "amd64_microsoft-hyper-v-3dvideo_31bf3856ad364e35_none_bfc82b5c225e0696".

Hi,

Please post a new copy of the COMPONENTS hive.

Upload your COMPONENTS hive.

• Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file.
• Please copy this file to your desktop.
• Note: If you receive an error that this file is in-use, simply reboot your computer and try again.
• Right-click on this file on your desktop and select Send To > Compressed (zipped) folder. This will create a file named COMPONENTS.ZIP on your desktop.
• If the file is too large to upload here, upload the file to www.wetransfer.com and post the link in your next reply.

Hi,

Finally success, what a saga!
Thank you for your patience and guidance throughout this process, it is greatly appreciated.

In terms of what happened.
DISM completed successfully and then the update also worked.
This was the first time that I've seen this red warning message throughout this process.
I've now restarted and windows shows the KB5016616 in the update history.
