Win 10 updates stopped working

Hi,

I already did upload the contents of "chkdsk c: /scan" :) (log.txt in my previous post - but I've attached it here as well)

Please download and install Hard Disk Sentinel (trial) and post a screenshot of its GUI.

Also already done :)

If both of those are ok, suggest you should do an in-place upgrade repair install which keeps all proga and data and most settings.Windows 10 Help Forums that, you will need an iso of the same build as your installed OS.What is your current Windows build? Win key + r, winver.

Looks like Version 180 (build 17134.345)

Note - if you are trying to upload large text files - think, who will read that much? - you can zip them (compress them) then upload that much smaller file. You will need to install a (free) program to do that

True - but it was more in case someone was searching for a term they needed to see in the log (I get that quite a bit when doing CPAN modules in my web servers, and the important bit is sometimes in the middle)

Both the operating system and component store may be corrupted.

Options to possibly fix the problems are:

a) System restore if there is a viable working restore point that predates the problems

b) Restoring a backup image

c) Dism repair using a windows 10 iso

d) In place upgrade repair with the identical Windows version

e) If the in place upgrade repair with the identical iso fails you can also attempt an in place upgrade repair with Windows 1809. However the identical iso is often one step less challenging than with an upgrade.

f) If all in place upgrade repairs fail then options include reset save files, custom install, and clean install

Custom Install Windows 10 | Tutorials
Clean Install Windows 10 | Tutorials



With the multiple problems it is probably best to perform an in place upgrade repair with an identical windows 10 iso.
This is performed with no connection to the internet and does not rely on Windows updates or connections with the Microsoft server until there is a successful in place upgrade repair.

Code:

Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation. 

The component store has been corrupted.

Potential Widows database error.

chkdsk /scan was ok.

Hi,

Thanks. The full re-install sounds a bit scary. This is my work PC, and I've got a ton of stuff on here that would be a real bugger to re-configure.

For this one:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> get-computerrestorepointCreationTime Description SequenceNumber EventType RestorePointType------------ ----------- -------------- --------- ----------------28/02/2019 06:52:59 Installed Swiftpoint Gestur... 117 BEGIN_SYSTEM_C...

Unfortunately it goes back to probably the end of last year, so even the oldest one there doesn't look viable.

Open administrative command prompt and copy and paste
b) findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt

When this has completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread

I just get an error with that:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log > %userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txtout-file : Could not find a part of the path 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt'.At line:1 char:1+ findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log > %userprofile%\Desktop\s ...+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : OpenError: (:) [Out-File], DirectoryNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : FileOpenFailure,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.OutFileCommand

This machine hasn't been wiped in a very long time (good 3-4 years, maybe more), so maybe it would be worth trying to do a full rebuild of it compared to trying to fix the issue (I've noticed some other annoyances with locking up randomly as well, even though the machine has a big spec).

With the rebuild - we can make an ISO with a fresh install, that will start from the basics? I can re-install the programs I need and copy all my important files that are not already on the cloud

Unfortunately I won't have time to do that for a good couple of months though as this is my work PC, and I can't afford for it to be out of action currently. I was hoping it would be a simple fix

Cheers

Andy

The above step was ran with administrative powershell.
It should have been run with administrative command prompt.

The in place upgrade repair should maintain all files and applications.

You can attempt to perform a system restore to the oldest restore point.
If the February restore point predates the problems with the component store and operating system then you are set.
If the February restore point fails then then next step is the in place upgrade repair with the identical iso.

Hi,

Ah my mistake - I run it in Powershell. In cmd prompt as administrator, it outputs the file but there is no contents

The in place upgrade repair should maintain all files and applications.

OK cool. I'll have to try that another day though, as I'm in the middle of several projects, and can't afford to have the machine down for ages. Its all working atm but I just don't get updates.

You can attempt to perform a system restore to the oldest restore point.
If the Feburary restore point predates the problems with the component store and operating system then you are set.
If the January restore point fails then then next steps is the in place upgrade repair with the identical iso.

I'll give that a go but I'm not holding up much hope, as the problem has been around quite a bit longer than that (I left it as I assumed it was an issue with the Microsoft end with updates, but it seems thats not the case)

Cheers

Andy

The in place upgrade repair with the identical iso can be performed overnight.
It should take a few hours if it works.
If it fails the Panther logs can be viewed.
If it works then then Windows updates or Windows upgrades will take significantly more time.


The component store is corrupted.
The operating system appears to be corrupted however that would be confirmed with the results of the administrative command prompt command.

OK thanks. I will try and have a look at it over the weekend.

Your welcome.
The DISM repair options may take time but it is an additional option.
If you can fix the component store then you may be able to fix the operating system.
The most efficient option is the in place upgrade repair with the identical iso.

I am having the same issue with KB4489899.
