Hello,

First of all: thank you all the staff for making a free service for helping people with Windows issues with such high quality that even paid ones can't provide!


Now for the issue, I've been trying to fix this this entire week. Windows Update is unable to install updates, giving error code 0x800f0983. SFC report that there are files to fix but it couldn't, and log files mention a few files related to Hyper-V component. I've tried to uninstall (to then install again, I need it for WSL2) this component but it failed with code 0x80073701.

SFC output reports:
Code:
sfc /scannow

Beginning system scan.  This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.
For online repairs, details are included in the CBS log file located at
windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For offline
repairs, details are included in the log file provided by the /OFFLOGFILE flag.

Logs are attached.

DISM output reports:
Code:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.26100.1150

Image Version: 10.0.26100.3476

[==========                 17.4%                          ]
Error: 2

The system cannot find the file specified.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log
Also, attached.

ComponentScanner report attached as well.

Additionally, I ran dism /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase and it succeed although it didn't help in fixing both my issues above.

And last, in a bit of desperare I ran SFCFix with no parameter or scripts, and it crashed while scanning CBS log. I've allowed the app to submit a crash report, hope that's useful for the application too!

Hi @R4to0,

Welcome to Sysnative Forums!

If you haven't already, please review the posting instructions here, and attach the requested log files. Without log files, our helpers will not be able to assist, and this will slow down fixing your machine.

If logs have been already been provided, our team of volunteers will analyse the provided log files to build a fix for your system. Please be aware that this may take several days from your initial post, due to the high volume of threads that we receive.
