Cannot install updates anymore

[contremaitre]

Hi,

Symptoms : windows update fails applying updates while in control panel -> windows update or in reboot mode.
One of the error code I get : 8007371B (I didn't note other error codes)

Already tried :
- Install updates one at a time
- Removing SoftwareDistribution folder while WU service is stopped
- Running sfc and checkdisk
- Running Microsoft readiness tool

my CBS logs (22MB) :

This seems to be at least part of your problem...

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.

Since yesterday I rebooted the computer and windows tried again to install updates, failed and used a restore point.
So here is the latest version of CBS folder and components file :

Well no more answers here so I had to reinstall windows from scratch

Sorry about that! - you should have shouted!

Hope the new install avoids the problems of the old!

Good luck
