[SOLVED] Win10x64 Pro - Problems with SFC and DISM (605, 0x800f0900)

It tells me that the tile database is corrupt and fixing it fails.
There is a TdlData.xml in c:\users\profile\appdata\local\TileDataLayer and an empty folder "Database" underneath it.

The XML does appear to contain valid XML... at least it does not contain garbage like the manifest-files I replaced.
 
The Windows Update is connected to the not-working immersiveControlPanel, so I can just tell you what https://aka.ms/wudiag tells me:
- a potential problem with the Windows update database could be repaired
- Windows update components could be repaired.
And that every time I run that diagnostic tool, so I guess it does not do much. At least it does not show up any comments about updates which still need to be installed and my power-icon in the start menu shows no activity from the windows update, just the plain "restart or shutdown" option.

I think there are no updates open by now, but I can't prove it.
 
This is not really reliable in my opinion as it detects issues even in systems which have a working Windows Update.

Run the following fix through FRST, reboot and let me know if there's any improvement.

I ran the fixlist.txt and got an error message "No automated fix found for this entry" for each of the ren-commands.

So I created a recovery point manually, booted to recovery mode and renamed the six folders. Then I rebooted the system.
After that, the start menu did not react at all to my mouse clicks, so I started the startmenu.diagcab which registered all applications and still told me about a corrupt tile database that could not be repaired.

The gear wheel in the start menu now does nothing at all (checked it with Process Monitor). I started systemsettings.exe via the search bar and got the same behavior: Opens, then closes.
 
Sorry, I deleted that testaccount... I recreated a new testuser and the TileDataLayer folder is not present for this user.
I used the startmenu.diagcab for this user and it could not fix the tile database.

...although, the gear wheel worked for the test user... well, it "worked", so it tried to start system settings and exited the app right afterwards. :huh:
 
...what the...?
I don't know when or why, the system settings now can be opened from the Windows search-bar and the "personalize" context-menu when right-clicking on the background-image. That is clearly a good sign. :-)

I directly checked the Windows Update section and there are no updates downloadable at this time.
The update log shows:
- error 0x80070643 with update KB890830 (could be installed successfully one day later = today)
- error 0x80240034 with update KB4103721 (could be installed successfully later the same day = yesterday)

But then the gear icon in the start menu is still dead and I just tried to open windows update directly from the search-bar which also is completely dead and showing no reaction. Also when I try to access "app-settings" via right-click.

Navigation from within the system settings works perfectly.
Seems like the problem with the immersivecontrolpanel is now repaired, but has shifted to the startmenu?

Using the startmenu.diagcab does not solve this and the TileDataLayer\Database-folder is still empty. TdlData.xml has still the same content as before the changes.

...but the icons now work completely for the testuser. :eek4:
I ask myself what happens when I rename the TileDataLayer for my standard-user? :-)

The following solved the last remaining problems. :thumbsup2:

Code: 
Get[COLOR=pink]-[/COLOR]AppXPackage [COLOR=pink]|[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000FF]Foreach[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]Add[COLOR=pink]-[/COLOR]AppxPackage [COLOR=pink]-[/COLOR]DisableDevelopmentMode [COLOR=pink]-[/COLOR]Register [COLOR=#800000]"$($_.InstallLocati[COLOR=#800000]on)\AppXManifest.xml"[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR][/COLOR]

So for now I consider my system fixed again. :r1:

Thank you very much for your help and I have to admit that I NEVER saw a Windows system coming back to life from a non-booting state and BSOD before in my past 20 years of using Microsoft Windows. I always had the belief that it simply HAS to be possible to repair a system except doing a new installation / refresh / repair installation. Experiencing this really blew my mind and I found myself already skipping Google search results from answers.microsoft.com the past two days in my search for a solution to my problem. :grin1:

Plus I learned a lot about standard repair procedures like SFC, DISM and Powershell.

Kind regards,
Chris
 
Hi,

I will deliver just a quick roundup of what has happened after we fixed the problem - maybe this will help others who experience similar issues.

So the system was working again but some Windows 10 Apps did not work anymore (for example: Photos and the Windows Store Service - yes, the store itself was okay, but I could not update apps anymore, the corresponding service started and exited right away) and re-registering the AppxPackages did not help at all.
SFC and DISM showed no errors at all, chkdsk finished without noticing anything. Every diagcab I used so far in this thread finished without finding any errors.

Besides that the system event log was flooded with DCOM-errors, a few Apps-related errors, services not working, etc.
To sum it up: I could use the system for everything I needed day to day, but something was still wrong.

So I made a backup of my PC and used the Media Creation tool to download the Windows 10 ISO and did a repair installation.
After that the photos app still didn't work, but registering the AppxPackages again worked this time.

Did another backup of the PC and flashed a new firmware on my SSD and in GSmartControl the pink background-color of the soft read errors disappeared from the SMART-parameters, too. I did an extended self-test and this time the test took as long as the program's estimated time of this test instead of a few minutes the last time.

I guess everything is back to normal again, but still I monitor my system closely. :-)
