[SOLVED] Error 0x80070003 on Windows Server 2016

[prolannic]

We have a Windows Server 2016 that receives the following Error when installing Windows Update (CUs for Windows and .net Framework): 0x80070003
We already ran dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth but no corruptions were found. Also we've resetted Windows Update and recreated SoftwareDistribution. SFC /scannow also found no errors.

Attached you find the CBS Logs and the ComponentsScanner Logs.

Hi,

Upload the setupapi.dev.log file

• Open Windows Explorer and browse to the C:\Windows\INF folder.
• Right-click on the file setupapi.dev.log and choose Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
• Now the message will appear, "Windows cannot create the Compressed (zipped) Folder here. Do you want it to be placed on the desktop instead?"
• Click on the Yes button here.

• Attach the file setupapi.dev.zip in your next reply.

Hi,

Download

SFCFix and save it to your desktop.

• 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.

Hi @Maxstar
The fix resolved the issue on two servers.

Thanks.

Hi,

You're welcome. Glad to hear it worked on another server as well...
