[SOLVED] [Win10v1703b15063 x64] Windows update problem

OK. Unfortunately because the hive is corrupt beyond repair there are only two options and one is a gamble.

1. Best and safest is to reload your machine from scratch. So this includes backing up all your critical information such as documents, pictures, etc. Ensuring you have all of your media to re-install programs, all your license keys, etc. Wiping and reloading your machine and installing everything back on.

2. I can provide you a COMPONENTS hive from another working machine and we can put it on yours, reboot and then try the Windows 10 repair over the top. I've never done this before and it's likely to fail but worth a shot if you are completely against doing a reload of your system.

If you happen to have a System Image backup of your machine stored somewhere, we can retrieve the hive from there and will have a much better chance of success.

Let me know what you decide.

I do in fact have a WindowsImageBackup, which contains amongst other things a 224 GB .vhdx "Hard Disk Image" file; the same directory also contains a ***_Components.xml file, in case that's of any use (it's about 15 KB). Unfortunately the image isn't that recent (it's from Jan 31 of this year). I also have a Dell recovery USB, which contains DellEFI.wim and EFI.wim, both dating from Dec 2015. I have, of course, backups of my User account (the last incremental one with Comodo from this morning). If the image (or recovery USB) can be used to create a hive good enough to run the in-place Windows Update, that would be best; if not, I guess I'll bite the bullet & do a re-install (is it really better to wipe the disk & re-install as in #1 above as opposed to just re-installing the system?), & deal with whatever software license issues crop up later.

Thanks,

D
 
It's worth a shot for sure! This may work. Mount your .vhdx file and grab both the following files from the mounted file and put then in your directory of your current machine.
c:\windows\system32\config\COMPONENTS
c:\windows\system32\config\DRIVERS

is it really better to wipe the disk & re-install as in #1 above as opposed to just re-installing the system?),
It's preference really. Either would work fine.

c:\windows\system32\config\DRIVERS

Thanks. I did that (though via DiskManagement & not directly), started with a fresh SoftwareDistribution and $Windows.~BT, and tried again; alas, the Windows Update Install still fails at 38%. As before, the log files are attached,

C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\Rollback\setupact.log => absent
C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\panther\setupact.log => included as 'setupact.log'
C:\$Windows.~BT\sources\panther\setupapi\setupapi.dev.log => absent
C:\Windows\setupapi.log => absent
C:\Windows\inf\setupapi.dev.log => included as 'setupapi.dev.log' (though it doesn't seem to have changed)
C:\Windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log => included as 'cbs.log'

The Update (or repeated rebooting) does seem to have done something to COMPONENTS and DRIVERS, which can be inspected at Download System32 files.zip from Sendspace.com - send big files the easy way. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Can you tell me exactly the process that happened. This will tell me where to look for the issue.
1. Does the failure happen before the 1st reboot?
2. After the 1st reboot?
3. After the 2nd reboot?

Any details on the upgrade process will lead me to the correct log.

Yes, it's before the first reboot, at 38%.

OK, please do the following.

Step#1 - Capture Process Monitor Trace
1. Download and run Process Monitor. Leave this running while you perform the next steps.
2. Open an elevated Command Prompt and run Dism /Online /Get-Drivers just like you have in the past.
3. Stop Process Monitor as soon as DISM fails. You can simply do this by clicking the magnifying glass 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 and attach the LogFile.PML file as well as your CBS.log.

This time it (finally) worked! Thanks for your help in this long process. Is there anything I should do to check that the installation is in fact corruption-free?

Thanks,
