Windows update is getting error 80073712 when trying to search for updates.

I followed the instructions and here is the result of the CBS directory.

CheckSUR shows these problems...

Code:

Unavailable repair files:
 winsxs\manifests\x86_microsoft-windows-w..owsupdateclient-aux_31bf3856ad364e35_7.6.7600.256_none_5fe7b2baacf3da43.manifest

I'll post a fix protocol a little later.

I've uploaded a file - bbtaa.zip - to my OneDrive at Noel's OneDrive
Please download and save it.
Right-click on the downloaded file, and select Extract all…
Extract to the default location - which will create a new folder bbtaa in the same place.
Open this folder - there should be one folder inside it (Manifests,)

Copy the content of the manifests folder (.manifest files) into this folder:

C:\Windows\Temp\CheckSur\Winsxs\Manifests

Now run the CheckSUR tool again (it may take a while)

Post the new CheckSUR.log file, and the CheckSUR.persist.log file.

Okay.

I reran CheckSur and here's the results.

What do you think, does it look okay?

Looks like updates are installing again. Thanks.

Looks fixed to me

Good luck!
