Version 1803 for x64-based Systems (KB4467702) -Error 0x800703f1
Hi all,
Windows update has tried installing a new update every day for the past few weeks. Every time it fails and while it is doing so really slows my PC down. I could ignore it for a few more weeks but at some point I have to get it working so I tried tonight, to no avail.
The error message:
There were problems installing some updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help:
2018-11 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 for x64-based Systems (KB4467702) -Error 0x800703f1
What I have tried:
* Updating a few drivers which I thought may be problematic
* sfc /scannow - produces the following error: "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation."
* Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth - produces the following error: "Error: 1009 The configuration registry database is corrupt."
I have also tried the windows update diagnostic tool which says "the windows update database may be corrupt" or something similar and I have stopped the windows update, removed all files in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore and \download before restarting and trying again.
At this rate I am heading towards a clean install but that would take me out of action for about a day so I'm asking here if there's anything else that I can do before I go down that route?
