Solved Windows update error 0x80073701

OK - I'll create a fix that works a different way...
Please download SFCFix from here... http://www.sysnative.com/niemiro/apps/SFCFix.exe and save it to your desktop


I've uploaded a file - SFCFix.zip - to my OneDrive at Noel's OneDrive
Please download and save it to your desktop

*
Now drag the SFCFix.zip file over onto the SFCFix.exe file - this should force SFCFix to run the file
It will create a new log file - please upload that.
*
Now run the CheckSUR tool again (it may take a while)
*
Post the new CheckSUR.log file, and the CheckSUR.persist.log file.

Ok I just did that. and here are the files.
Edit:
It looks like there arent any errors

I just reset it and tried to update same thing. I have no idea why even though all logs uploaded show no error
Thank you

EDIT:
So I ran sfc /scannow and I uploaded the latest part of the cbs The can should start around 21:53 I also ran windows update standalone installer which gave the same error and might show up on the cbs I think.
