    DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\temp\windows6.1-kb4074598-x64.cab

Re: Unable to update optional updates.

Look again at my post. I added the cbs log. I moved the msu from downloads folder to temp.
 
Re: Unable to update optional updates.

Open CMD as admin and enter the following commands:

Code: 
net stop wuauserv
ren %SystemRoot%\SoftwareDistribution\Download DL.bak
ren %SystemRoot%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore DS.bak
net start wuauserv

Afterwards, please try updating the normal way through Windows Update.

Zip up that file and upload it for me please :)
 
Re: Unable to update optional updates.

BTW. Today I did a registry defragmentation using registry life by ChemTable Software. I usually do this once a month.
 
Re: Unable to update optional updates.

Recently I used BleachBit to free up space thinking it might help with updates. Instead I get an error message when I try to change default program for a particular file. See attached. Also I tried using WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.diagcab to fix updates but it didn't help.

Re: Unable to update optional updates.

CBS log attached. BTW I tried using windows repair (all in one) free version and used their windows update repair. I also tried downloading the msu from microsoft update catalog and installing it myself. None of that helped.

Re: Unable to update optional updates.

I was advised at another forum to provide you with a SFCFix.txt and a SURT log. I've attached the SFC utility log just in case.
