[SOLVED] Problem with Windows 7 updates

I have a theoretical question:

What if I copy the entire winsxs folder from a "normal" machine, as well as the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SideBySide\ and transfer all this to my "broken" machine - wouldn't that help?
 
I scanned the repository:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

Got this log:

From the same computer, I took these files and placed them in the repository.

Scanned again:

I tried to change and run the scan again - the result is the same.
I won't be self-employed anymore.
Exported the registry hive to be modified: amd64_microsoft-windows-t..usbredirectorclient_31bf3856ad364e35_none_ffa365242a75f93d.

This is confusing. Provide a fresh copy of the Winners hive as you did in message #8.

Absolutely don't do both. These are unique for each machine.
 
Please do following only.

Install Update with DISM
  1. Download the update MSU here: https://catalog.s.download.windowsu..._f5cd9f3dab8cdbbf287fee84148e8ea69042bcc3.msu
  2. Copy the MSU file to a convenient location (such as C:\temp).
  3. Click on the Start button and in the search box, type Command Prompt
  4. When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator
  5. When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following commands into it, press enter after each

    cd C:\temp
    replace C:\temp with your path if different

    expand windows6.1-kb2592687-x64_f5cd9f3dab8cdbbf287fee84148e8ea69042bcc3.msu -f:* C:\temp

    DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\temp\windows6.1-kb2592687-x64.cab
  6. You should receive the message:
    The operation completed successfully.
    Make sure to allow the computer to restart if prompted.
  7. If you receive any other message:
    Post a screenshot of the Commandprompt window.
    Zip and attach the file C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
 
All instructions have been followed:

expand windows6.1-kb2592687-x64_f5cd9f3dab8cdbbf287fee84148e8ea69042bcc3.msu -f:* C:\temp
DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\temp\windows6.1-kb2592687-x64.cab
Click to expand...

An update has been added.
After rebooting the PC, the update was rolled back.

FRST Search
  1. Click the Start button and choose Control Panel.
  2. In the upper right corner ensure the View by: is set to Category.
  3. Select the Programs group.
  4. Click the Turn Windows features on or off link. This will bring up the Windows Features dialog.
    Note: This loads your components hive which is what we want. Please keep this dialog open while you perform the remaining steps. You can minimize it if you wish but keep it open.
  5. Right-click on the file FRST64.exe and choose Run as administrator.
    Note: Your antivirus program may report FRST incorrectly as an infection. If so, disable the real-time protection when downloading and running FRST.
  6. Copy and paste SearchAll:amd64_microsoft-windows-t..usbredirectorclient into the Search box and click the Search Files button.
  7. When the scan is complete, a message will display that 'Search.txt' is saved in the same folder FRST was started from. Notepad will open this file also. Close Notepad and attach the file 'Search.txt' to your next reply.
  8. You may close any remaining open windows now.
 
Ok.

Provide the Components Hive
1. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file.
2. 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. Note: If you find that you need to reboot and are unable to because this is a server then try Option#2 below.
3. 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.
4. The file will likely be too large to upload here so please upload to Gofile or WeTransfer and just provide the link here.

Option#2 (only if you are unable to follow the previous instructions)

  • Please download the Freeware RegBak from here: Acelogix Software - Download products
     You will find it at the bottom of the page that the link brings you to.
  • Go ahead and install this program and accept all the defaults. After the last install screen the program should open.
  • Click the New Backup button. Accept the defaults and simply click Start.
  • When it says Finished successfully, click the Close button.
  • This will bring you back to the main screen of the program. You will see one entry in this list with the date that you did it. Right-click on this line-item and select Explore Backup...
  • This will bring you into the folder where the backup was made. You should see a Users folder and a Windows folder along with a couple other files. Double-click on the Windows folder to open it. Then open the System32 folder and then config folder. You should see around 6 files in here, one of which is named COMPONENTS.
  • Copy the COMPONENTS file to your Desktop. If the COMPONENTS file does not exist, please fetch it instead from C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS.
  • Now right-click on the COMPONENTS file that is on your desktop and select Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
  • Then please upload the zip file (COMPONENTS.zip) to your favourite file sharing website (it will be too big to upload here). Examples of services to upload to are Gofile or WeTransfer and then just provide the link in your reply.
  • You can close any open windows you have as well as the RegBak program now.
 
All these instructions succeeded:

The attachment is corrupt. Windows and 7Zip cannot open it.
Attach a new one.
 
Step 1:
Warning: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Do not run this script on another machine.

Download the attachment and extract it.
Open the extracted folder, double-click the file regfix.reg.
When prompted allow to change the registry settings.
Report the result.


Step 2:
Restart the computer.
Open an elevated command prompt.
Copy and paste the following commands into it, press enter after each.
Code: 
sfc /scannow
Wait for this to finish before you continue
Code: 
copy %windir%\Logs\CBS\cbs.log "%userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt"
This will create a file, cbs.txt on your Desktop. Zip this file and attach the zipped cbs.txt to your next post.

Everything was successfully installed, the computer rebooted.
The RDP protocol has become version 8.0
It remains to check the update KB2923545 to install the RDP 8.1 protocol

If you allow me, I can try to install KB2923545
 
Go ahead and report the result.
 
After running Windows6.1-KB2923545-x64.msu, the system wrote "the update is not applicable to this computer".
Unsuccessful attempt.
 
In message #15 you said:
The system has RDP 7.1 installed
Need to upgrade to version 8.0 then 8.1
Click to expand...

Please check if you still need RDP 8.1 as we now on RDP 8.0 ?
 
Now the protocol is 8.0
Protocol 8.0 contains a number of bugs and does not fully cover all features.
But you can put this protocol 8.1 only after 8.0.

On the same machine was installed first 8.0, then 8.1
Everything was successful there.

If it is possible to install 8.1 on this PC it would also be very good.
