Solved Constant Windows Update Error 80070308

[smcnally]

Everytime I try and load windows updates I get error message 80070308.

Now have 24 updates which cannot be loaded.

Also cannot download iTunes as I get the same 80070308 error message.

Tried to follow some of your previous threads recommendations without success.

Desperately need help as the Windows website is useless

...and the rest of the requested data?

1. Ran SURT - keeps downloading Hotfix for Windows (KB947821) but makes no difference
2. Ran SFC scan - makes some fixes but large number of fixes cannot be made
3. Windows Error Code - 80070308 always appears and updates fail - screenshot previously sent
4. Log Collection - zip copy previously enclosed in post

That's only the CBS.log - we need the rest of the collected data as well.

Cannot zip folder small enough to send as attachment.

Have copied files into dropbox folder. Link below

The remaining errors in the SFC scan can be ignored - they will be fixed once you install the latest updates from MS.
CheckSUR is clear,

There is an error on the CBS log indicating a reboot is set - ant it appears not to be properly clearing.

Open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following commands

REG LOAD HKLM\COMPONENTS C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS
REG DELETE HKLM\COMPONENTS /V PendingRequired
 
.

then reboot, and try Windows Update again.
