Windows Check for updates keeps running-all installation/updates fail

[NoelDP]

Unless I specifically say that commands need to be separated, copy/pasting the list is fine (and a lot quicker than attempting to retype them yourself! )

OK - we need to create a new registry Key, but I suspect that the first attempt will fail (but if it works, it's a loss of hassle avoided!)

Please open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following commands (Use copy/paste - there's only three commands!)

REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Version"
REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Version" /v 6.1.7600.16385 /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d %SystemRoot%\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-trustedinstaller_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_ed02252b66d7bca2
REG QUERY "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Version"

Post the results.
then reboot, and run the following commands in an Elevated Command Prompt window - post the results in another reply.

REG QUERY "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Version"
NET START TRUSTEDINSTALLER

Oh man - looks like it didnt work the first time...going reboot and run next command now...

Like I said, that was to be expected.
I was hoping that we wouldn't need to go into Regedit ( I always avoid it if possible, it's all too easy to make a total mess, and there's no Undo option)

First, try creating a System Restore point

Then open Regedit (Click on the Start button, and in the Search box, type REGEDIT and hit the Enter key - accept the UAC prompt)
Navigate to the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing
key.
right-click on the key, and select Permissions
Click on the Advanced button
Click on the Owner tab
Highlight Administrators in the box
Click on Apply
Click on the Permissions tab
Highlight the Administrators entry
Click on the Edit button
Put a tick in the Full Control/Allow box - this should put ticks in all the other boxes in the column.
Click OK out (3 times)
close Regedit

Now run these commands again in an Elevated Command Prompt window, and post the results......

REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Version"
REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Version" /v 6.1.7600.16385 /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d %SystemRoot%\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-trustedinstaller_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_ed02252b66d7bca2
REG QUERY "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Version"

 

[GreenHeron32]

Before I follow the directions in post #83, do you want me to first run the REG QUERY command from post 81? Thanks

 

[NoelDP]

No point - go straight to #83

 

[StaticBlue]

After completing the steps in post 83, the issue is now worse. Instead of getting to 18% of a elevated scannow, it goes stright to "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation."

I have tried "Microsoft's System Update Readiness Tool" as advised here: Fix Windows Update and other problems with Microsoft's System Update Readiness Tool | Wilders Security Forums

I have the CBS log.

I have tried the solution here, however the key exists: Windows Modules Installer Error:126 - Microsoft Community

Other thread with BSOD issue is probably resolved after updating drivers: http://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-help-support/367608-unknown-bsod-mother-laws-system.html#post3049900

Suggestions please.

Cheers

 

[NoelDP]

Please post the CBS.log - it should give some clues what's happening.

PLease also post eh results of this query...

REG QUERY "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Version"

 

[StaticBlue]

CBS Log attached.

Thanks

 

[NoelDP]

That CBS.log file was last updated on 25th Feb!
Please post the current one from the C:\Windows\Logas\CBS folder

 

[NoelDP]

Having said that - there were some errors in the SFC scan you ran that month...

I'll post a fix protocol for those, if I I haven't heard by the time I get to it!

 

[NoelDP]

WTH? - I just realised this is a Thread Hijack!

PLEASE start a NEW thread of your own, and start by telling us EXACTLY what your OWN problem is.

 

[StaticBlue]

Sorry about that, here is the current one.

Cheers

 

[Layback Bear]

StaticBlue what is it you don't understand about starting your own thread with your problem?
Posting your problem and log in GreenHeron32 thread dose nothing but confuse things.

 

[StaticBlue]

Dear Layback Bear, I didn't see the request, as I was brought to the thread by a link within an email notification, advising of a reply; the request was on a further page. Does that appease your aggressiveness?

 

[Layback Bear]

Just start a thread of your own so we can help with your problem.

Have a nice day.
