After trying and failing to fix this on my own, I have given up and finally admitted I need help :lol:. Not sure what to say really apart from I keep getting the error code 800B0100 whenever I try to update. I have tried various tools and guides over the past year or so but nothing seems to work and I have over 100 important security updates that keep failing *sobs*.
I am running on windows 7 home premium x64 service pack 1. Not really sure If I need to mention anything else here but I have a screenshot that may help? maybe :grin1:.
Thanks in advance :)

Edit: Opps forgot to upload the CBS thingy, should be done now

Ok, first off thanks for the help! I done what it has said and now im getting another error code: 80072F8F. Also I noticed I'm getting "Cannot connect to the real Google. Something is currently interfering with your secure connection to www.google.co.uk." when I try to search anything. Also last night I did a CCleaner and my temp file is empty now (no CBS logs) :banghead:. The System Update Readiness Tool has the same errors in. Not tried updating anything yet.
Sorry im so useless xD thanks again for the help.

Edit: Also it now says "Windows could not search for new updates" when I look to Windows update.
 
So another update.
80072F8F was apparently me being silly and forgetting to put the clock back forward, Google works fine again too. Still getting error code 800B0100 even tho them three files you told me to uninstall are definitely not there anymore. Still have no CBS logs and not sure how to get them (I ran the system update readiness tool, created the folder but no logs inside).
Have I messed something up? :(
 
Hi Risen91,

No worries. Does this file exist? If so, can you attach it to your next post please:

C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.persist.log

Tom
 
Says there is no errors :huh:

Edit: Just tried to update and still getting Code 800B0100 with 95 important updates still uninstalled.

Not sure if this is any help or not, but now I'm getting less errors when I run windows update diagnostic (see screenshot). In windows update it still says I have error code 800B0100 tho.

Hello!

You've got me now :)

Since we've now fixed all the error reported by the SURT, I need a full set of CBS logs to diagnose the remainder.

Export CBS folder

  1. Click the Start button
    StartButton_16x16.gif
    then click Computer.
  2. Double-click on the C: drive, under the Hard Disk Drives category, and then scroll down to, and double click on the Windows folder.
  3. Find and double click on the Logs folder.
  4. Right-click on the CBS folder, and select Copy.
  5. Go back to your Desktop, right-click on it, and select Paste. You should now see a copy of the CBS folder appear on your Desktop called CBS.
  6. Right-click on this new folder, and navigate through Send to, and select Compressed (zipped) folder.
  7. A new file, also called CBS (CBS.zip), but this time with a different icon, will be created. Please upload it here.

Thank you!

Hello again!

Are they all the files? There's nothing newer than logs dating from 2012....

Anyway, please open an Elevated Command Prompt: https://www.sysnative.com/forums/wi...-prompt-window-windows-windows-vista-7-a.html

then paste in and press enter after:

Code: 
net stop bits
net stop wuauserv
ren %SystemRoot%\SoftwareDistribution *.bak
net start bits
net start wuauserv

Check that you get a success message from all commands, then re-test Windows Update.

Thank you.

Hey, yea they are all the files that were in there. Not sure but I think there was some errors, here is the result:

Code: 
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.


C:\Windows\system32>net stop bits
The Background Intelligent Transfer Service service is not started.


More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3521.




C:\Windows\system32>net stop wuauserv
The Windows Update service is stopping.
The Windows Update service was stopped successfully.




C:\Windows\system32>ren %SystemRoot%\SoftwareDistribution *.bak
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.


C:\Windows\system32>net start bits
The Background Intelligent Transfer Service service is starting.
The Background Intelligent Transfer Service service was started successfully.




C:\Windows\system32>net start wuauserv
The Windows Update service is starting.
The Windows Update service was started successfully.

Update still failed with error: 800B0100
 
OK, that didn't work, so can you please run just the following commands: net stop bits, net stop wuauserv

Manually rename C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution.bak (alternatively, if you can't, make a backup of then delete all the contents).

Then run net start bits, net start wuauserv

Thank you.

Richard
 
Renamed the file, ran the two commands and tried update, still getting same error D:

Would remote assistance be easier if you want to have a look yourself?
 
Unless I'm dealing with a particularly difficult issue, I keep my help on the forums so others can benefit from any potential solution :) Thanks for the offer though - I'm hoping it won't come to it but we'll see.

Okay, let's try this then:

Command Prompt

Warning: this fix is specific to the user in this thread. No one else should follow these instructions as it may cause more harm than good. If you are after assistance, please start a thread of your own.

  1. Click on the Start
    Start%20Orb.jpg
    button and in the search box, type Command Prompt
  2. When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator
  3. When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following commands into it, press enter after each

    set WINDOWS_TRACING_LOGFILE=C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log

  4. Right-click on the Command Prompt window and click Select All, this will invert all of the colours by selecting the text, now press enter. All of this text is now copied.
  5. Paste (Ctrl+V) it into your next post please.

Then reboot, try to update and pray your CBS log is there :p
