How do I correct the Windows update error 800B0100 & 80073712?

@NoelDP

Hey Noel,

Before I uninstall Avast and replace it with MSE to see if it corrects the problem, I wanted to exhaust a few ideas.

I previously copied Windows\Temp to Desktop. Had full privileges on Desktop copy. Installed all of your Manifest and and packages on the copy successfully. So, I thought maybe I could delete original Temp and move copy back into Windows and see if I would have an accessible copy within Windows Parent Folder.

I went into Safe Mode:

Was successful taking ownership of windows/temp
deleted Windows\Temp. Successful.
Upon restart in Normal Mode "Temp" was back in Windows....no access again.

So, I then tried ECP with admin priv to delete Windows\Temp...and got Screenshot 2

I googled it and tried instructions...windows features wouldn't populate?....screenshot 1

Any thoughts?? My next move is uninstall Avast and install MSE.

You can try disbling the Windows Fax & Scan service - open an ECP and run the following command

SC CONFIG Fax start= disabled

(note the space before 'disabled'!)

then reboot
see if that helps.

Duh?
I have no idea why that should have worked.
So - where are we with WU?
Please run SFC and CheckSUR again, and post the new results, and with any luck, we'll have it cracked.

Do you actually need the Fax&Scan service?

The SFC results are incomplete in the CBS.log - but the indications are that it's OK.
CheckSUR still shows a few problems...

I'll post a fix for those later.

I've uploaded a file - v63ab.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 v63ab in the same place.
Open this folder - there should be two folders inside it (Manifests, and Packages)

Copy the content of the Packages folder to the folder
C:\Windows\Temp\CheckSur\Servicing\Packages

And 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.

Dropbox link to CBS411 file from this morning. (I ran SFC /scannow again, after complete, I ran SURT)

EDIT....

rebooted, ran WU and it appears 1 of the 3 stubborn updates installed. updated screenshots:
