Hey everyone,
I'm running **Windows 23H2**, and after a recent Windows update failed, I've been stuck with some frustrating issues. Here's what happened and what I've tried so far:
### Initial Problem
The update failed, leaving my system in a broken state. I tried running `sfc /scannow` to repair the system, but it returned:
Code:
Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service.
Oddly enough, the service is starting automatically and running.
Steps I’ve Taken
1. Copied Servicing Stack Files:
I copied the following files from a working VM into the directory `both`:
- `Package_for_ServicingStack_4027~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~22621.4027.1.2.cat`
- `Package_for_ServicingStack_4027~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~22621.4027.1.2.mum`
2. Extracted MSU Files:
Using powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass .\Extract-MSUAndCAB.ps1 -filePath file.msu -destinationPath .\both , I extracted the following MSU files to get the missing source files:
- `windows11.0-kb5040527-x64_4713766dc272c376bee6d39d39a84a85bcd7f1e7.msu`
- `windows11.0-kb5041585-x64_319b34bb6f8f9053c7cc09e635e541931fbbb111.msu`
3. DISM Command:
I ran the following command to repair the image:
Bash:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:".\both"
Result:
Code:
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.22621.2792
Image Version: 10.0.22631.3880
[===========================84.9%================= ]
[==========================100.0%==========================]
Error: 14098
The component store has been corrupted.
The DISM log file is located at `C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log`.
Current Status
The system is still in a corrupted state, and I'm not sure how to proceed. Any ideas on what might be causing this or how I can fix it?
Thanks in advance for any help!
