Problem Description:
I’ve been encountering persistent Windows Update and system issues:- Windows Update Errors: 0x800703f1 and 0x80070103.
- AMD Driver Installation: Error 1603 (AMD Display Driver Error 2147943409 - The configuration registry database is corrupt).
- USB Devices Not Recognized.
- In-Place Upgrade Fails: on the final screen with error 0x800703f1.
- SFC fails with "Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service" (also in Safe Mode).
- DISM returning Error 0x800f081f: "The source files could not be found."
Steps I’ve Tried:
- SFC and DISM:
- SFC gave "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.", even in safe mode
- DISM initially failed at 100% with Error 0x800f081f: "The source files could not be found."
- Components Hive Replacement:
- I followed this instruction (my last post is in that thread) to export and rebuild the Components Hive. This seemed to work temporarily as SFC and DISM worked again producing no errors, but Windows Update still failed. Now, SFC doesn’t run due to "Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service," and DISM fails with Error 0x800f081f ("The source files could not be found").
- CHKDSK ran successfully without errors.
- Tweaking.com Tool: I purchased and ran this tool, but it did not resolve the issue.
- In-Place Upgrade: Failed with 0x800703f1.
