The oldest CBSPersist file there is 89MB (1.6GB uncompressed)- which is what's causing the bloat.

The CBS.log has the following error in it...

Please find the file
C:\Windows\WinSxS\Catalogs\8279850e727389f06786a2e520a840ebb7f2a24f18cf3c65c99d80b0a44ede35.cat

double-click on it and it should open the Catalog. If not, then we know where the problem is


Both CheckSUR and SFC scans are clear of errors.

I've browsed through that folder twice but couldn't find that file.

Try copying this into the Address bar in Windows Explorer....

C:\Windows\WinSxS\Catalogs\8279850e727389f06786a2e520a840ebb7f2a24f18cf3c65c99d80b0a44ede35.cat

if you then hit the Enter key, it should just open the file - or say 'Not found'

It says 'not found'. What does this mean?

NoelDP said:

Not sure - yet!
It's the 'master' catalog file for all the files involved in the update, I think, which tells Windows the file sizes to expect from an update.
It seems that for whatever reason this file isn't where it's expected to be, either because the file itself hasn't been put there, or it's been misnamed. The question then becomes how to fix it.

I think the first thing to do is to delete the source files and re-download them...

This could be due to corruption in the SoftwareDistribution folder - the problem with that the conventional cure can lead to problems later on, if not handled properly, and you will lose your Update history (but the updates will still be installed, and viewable in the Installed Updates listing).

Open an Elevated Command Prompt
Run the following commands

NET STOP WUAUSERV
REN C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution SDOLD
NET START WUAUSERV

reboot
then wait 10 minutes, and open Windows Updates, and run a Check for Updates.

Install only the oldest update found - and reboot once installed
then go back to Windows updates and install the others.

Maybe I don't need to do anything after all:

IE11 patch KB 3038314 blocks search engines and may fail with error 80092004 | InfoWorld

It appears like it's a corrupt update , which has already caused problems for a lot more users.

So, do you still want me to do that, even after the article that I've linked to here?
