Solved Windows Update Error Code 80070308

[mikedelasandro]

Hello Friends,
I've been dealing with this error for about two months now. It took me that long until I found this site. Any way, I've run the SURT, The sfc scan, both completed successfully. I am not uploading my CBS.zip file because it's 35MB. If I need to cut it down please let me know how. Error code screenshot attached. Thanks.

Please follow the Windows Update Posting Instructions and post the requested data
If the file is too large (8MB compressed), remove the older CBSPersist cab files until the final file is below the limit - you can always post them separately after zipping them. (the forum doesn't allow the upload of bare CAB files, for a number of reasons)

Thanks for you prompt response Noel. I've attached the CBS zip file. I have several other rather large cab files if you don't have enough info. Hope this helps. Thanks
Mike

try this...
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.
