Tom may be away for a few days - I've not had any response from him yet

Up to you!

Repair in progress... keeping my fingers crossed.

Not looking good... I completed the repair and activated windows. Everything seemed to be functioning properly. I installed 119 important updates last night and they installed successfully. I rebooted to finish the install and it made it to step 5 of 5 and then showed failure configuring windows updates... reverting changes. It has been cycling for 2 hours. Once I get back in ill check the errors and see how many actually installed.

Most likely none of them have been installed.
Install only 3 random patches in the list. Install fine? If so...... reboot and then....
Install 10 updates at a time and reboot afterwards. Write down which ones you did! If succesfull...

etc.

If some patches faill to install.... try another bunch of 10 patches.
If you know the bunch of 10 faulty patches.... install only first 5, and last 5 later.
So try to determine which patch is blocking the update process.

This is brutal.. 2 days trying to install these updates. Errors codes 8007054F & 800F0826. I have it narrowed down to 36 important and 9 optional. Should I upload another CBS log?

There's similar error codes in this thread but i'm assuming the resolution here was based on different errors in the logs.

Please let me know if you have any other ideas or if you ever heard back from the calvary.

Install just 3 important updates. Do it random so not just the first 3!!
Or try only one.

 

[Kaktussoft]

post a new windowsupdate.log and cbs.log

 

[RFog80]

I've attempted 3 random many times and also one at random multiple times. Everytime after it fails I have to log back in and select check for updates and wait for them to load and then try again. It's a good thing I have patience.

Please uninstall 2 patches, reboot, and try to install 1 patch that didn't install correctly. Post results.
I want to know if the problem is related to the patches (very unlikely 36 of them are faulty).

 

[Kaktussoft]

SURT System Update Readiness Tool can you run that tool again and post its log file?

 

[Kaktussoft]

Please uninstall 2 patches, reboot, install same 2 patches again. Post results.

I'm not a windows update expert. @NoelDP can help.

UNinstalled KB2547666 and KB2852386 rebooted and reinstalled without an issue.

So you CAN install updates. But only 36 fail.... even one by one. Very strange.

 

[RFog80]

Yes.. I began with about 150 and have it down to 36. Im going through one by one starting at the bottom. The first one I picked failed but then the next 2 individually installed successfully. Will continue and post results.

Maybe better 5 by 5 to save you time

 

[RFog80]

When I do 5 if there's a bad one in the mix they all fail after the reboot. I'm just going one by one and some are working out.

If the 5 are all good.... it save you time!

but you're right if 50% is faulty.

How many of the 36 did you try? How many succesful?

 

[RFog80]

Down to 28
