Windows 7 updates are failing to install

I ran that command and windows updates are still failing

Here is my latest SFC /SCANNOW log

https://www.dropbox.com/s/bi4cyu9hbce2sfe/SFCSCANcbs.zip?dl=0

and I attached Windows Update log

SFC scan says that it fixed something and repairs would be done on the next reboot. I restarted my PC, ran SFC again, and got the same message, "repairs were done, will fix on reboot"

Thank you, this does sound like some pending transactions are 'stuck'

First, start an Elevated Command Prompt: https://www.sysnative.com/forums/wind...vista-7-a.html
and copy and paste in the following:

fsutil resource setautoreset true %SystemDrive%\

attrib -r -s -h %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\TxR\*
del %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\TxR\*

attrib -r -s -h %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\*
del %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\*.tm*
del %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\*.blf
del %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\*.regtrans-ms

Try windows update again, if it fails please continue.


Please go and navigate to C:\Windows\winsxs and copy any files with a similar name to pending.xml (e.g. pending.xml, pending.xml.bad, pending.xml_dfsadf78 etc.) to your folder on the Desktop [there may not be any, just if there are]. Then zip up this folder and attach it to your next post.

On del %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\TxR\* I was getting an error that some files were used in another process.
I restarted my computer and successfully deleted them

Just to make sure I ran these commands again

As the files are in use please boot back into the recovery environment and run the following command:
del C:\Windows\System32\Config\TxR\*

This should hopefully clear these transactions.
