    You appear to have a large number of bitflips in the registry - here's the CheckSUR summary...
    Code:
    Seconds executed: 348
     Found 63 errors
     Fixed 25 errors
      CSI Could Not Open file Total count: 1
      CSI Catalog Missing Total count: 4
      Fixed: CSI Catalog Missing.  Total count: 4
      CSI Missing Deployment Key Total count: 27
      CSI Missing Identity Total count: 9
      Fixed: CSI Missing Identity.  Total count: 7
      CSI Corrupt Identity Total count: 3
      Fixed: CSI Corrupt Identity.  Total count: 2
      CSI Missing C Mark Total count: 4
      Fixed: CSI Missing C Mark.  Total count: 4
      CSI C Mark Deployment Missing Total count: 6
      CSI Replacement File: CreateFile Failed Total count: 17
      CSI Payload File Missing Total count: 1
      CSI F Mark Missing Total count: 8
      Fixed: CSI F Mark Missing.  Total count: 8
    almost all of these errors are caused by bitflips - which probably means that other areas are also damaged.

    There is no point in attempting to cure the remaining problems unless the cause of the bitflips is first eliminated.
    This is usually the result of failing RAM.

    Please follow the instructions here... RAM - Test with Memtest86+ and see what it reports.

    OK - in that case, I need to see your COMPONENTS registry hive...


    I need to have a look at your COMPONENTS registry hive

    Please copy the C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS file (no extension) to your desktop and then compress it - upload the compressed file to your favoured fileshare site (preferably Dropbox or OneDrive) and post a link.

    I've uploaded a file - fknaa.zip - to my OneDrive at Noel's OneDrive
    Please download and save it to your desktop.
    Right-click on the file and select Extract All, and save to the default destination (which should be a folder on the desktop)

    Create a new System Restore point

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

    Code:
    IF EXIST C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS.OLD1 DEL C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS.OLD1
    REN C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS COMPONENTS.OLD1
    COPY "%userprofile%\desktop\fknaa\COMPONENTS" C:\Windows\System32\config
    
    .


    If you get an error with either command, STOP THERE - do not reboot! - post for instructions.

    Assuming both commands go OK, reboot, and run another CheckSUR scan - post the new CheckSUR.log file.

    AS requested


    Your zip did not create the folder for your path on the script, so i created it and put your components in.
    Ran the 3 commands without error.
    Attached is just the CheckSUR unless you ewant the whole shooting match

    There are a fair number of errors appearing now - I've attempted to fix most of them, but the fix may bring a lot more errors to light


    We'll see how this lot go before working out where to go next...

    I've uploaded a file - fknab.zip - to my OneDrive at Noel's OneDrive
    Please download and save it to your desktop.
    Right-click on the file and select Extract All, and save to the default destination (which should be a folder on the desktop)

    Create a new System Restore point

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

    Code:
    IF EXIST C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS.OLD1 DEL C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS.OLD1
    REN C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS COMPONENTS.OLD1
    COPY "%userprofile%\desktop\fknab\COMPONENTS" C:\Windows\System32\config
    
    .


    If you get an error with either command, STOP THERE - do not reboot! - post for instructions.

    Much closer windows update working


    Performed steps, ran the sequence 1-4 as you will notice windows update is working.
    SFC /scannow still reports an error so included the entire CBS.
    will let you knwo what happens after the first 30 updates run through.

    Windows update works


    Looks like you fixed it, both the update history and windows features work again.
    It does still have errors when you run SFC /Scannow but if you want i can move that to a different thread.
    thank you
