Errors while using windows update.

Here's the result of the CHKDSK

Code:

Windows has checked the file system and found no problems.

Not too bad- possibly the result of a system crash at some point.

The Application log is now pretty clear - I'll take a look at the System log later (gotta get to work )

Hmm - I thought I'd come back on this. I know I had a good look at the System logs.


try this...
Open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following commands


REG LOAD HKLM\COMPONENTS C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS
REG DELETE HKLM\COMPONENTS /V PendingRequired

then reboot, and try Windows Update again.

Hmm -
I couldn't actually find the CHKDSK results in the logs anywhere - did you run it? did it find anything??

I don't think this is the cause of your problems - but it's worth running the Fixit from this page to hopefully get rid of a few of the incidental errors...
Event ID 10 is logged in the Application log after you install Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2

Then reboot and attempt to install ONLY the oldest update found.
reboot again
post the following files

CBS.log
the newest CBSPersist file
C:\Windows\windowsupdate.log
fresh Application and System event logs.

Please post the C:\Windows\windowsupdate.log file
It looks as if Windows 7 SP1 still hasn't been installed?

Not bad - they'll get rebuilt over time, and the oldest one gets deleted anyhow once there are more than 5 there.

Hmmm - I didn't realised that Novatech were doing custom BIOS nowadays!?

Looking at the windowsupdate.log there appears to be nothing whatever wrong with Windows Update - all updates have installed properly.
