Hi..
For several months I have had problems with Windows Update error 80073712
sfc /scannow is not possible and I have also tried a repair with my installation disc, without any luck
A reinstall is out of the question, som I hope you'll help me..
Attached is CBS.zip
Best regards from Denmark

The CheckSUR shows this problem...
This is not good news...Code:Checking Packages (f) CSI Unable to Query Store Version 0x00000002
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.
Hi..
I'm not using any filesharing services, so I uploaded the files to this folder on my website
Index of /download/files
There is a backup of components, and I uploaded it also, just in case..
Best regards

Is your COMPONENTS file really only 256KB??
If so, then you have major problems which can only be cured by a repair install - or perhaps a clean install.
Yes.. it is only 256kb.
I have tried a repair install, but it will not run.
So I think the only way is to use my laptop as is, because the only problem that I have, is that I can't make any Windows updates.. Everything else seems to Work fine/has been working fine since I bought my laptop.
I have a older backup at Work, so I'll try to install it later, or is it possible to use the components file from it?
Best regards

It's potentially worse to have an out-of-step COMPONENTS hive, than it is to have an effectively non-existent one.
You really do need to fix this - if a repair install won't work, you're left with either a System Recovery or a clean install.
