component store

Question

I  have researched this problem for more than a week and tried all the stock solutions.  I can run dism in recovery mode.  After running restorehealth, scanhealth and checkhealth both show no corruptions in recovery modee.  But in normal booted Windows, checkhealth says that the component store cannot be repaired.  Other dism commands won't run.  Sfc will not run in recovery, safe mode or normal mode.  Windows updates will not process.

Repair install processes to about 77% and then exits with a installation failed  message.  I have update 1909.

It seems like there ought to be a way to fix this.  Suggestions?

That's severe.  I was hoping to avoid such things.

Answer 3

So I recommend you to back up your files and do a completely new installation, but before installing Windows I recommend you to remove the partitions from the Hard Drive and create them again.

I did get the 1909  iso using the Media Creation Tool.  As I said, the Repair Install goes to 77% and then exits saying the installation was not successful.  If you read what I said carefully, maybe you can see that I need something more than a stock solution.

If you have problems updating Windows, follow these steps:

First, if you have a third-party antivirus, you must disable or uninstall it.

Right click on the start button and select Command Prompt (admin) or Powershell (admin)

Write the next hit enter after each line.

.- net stop wuauserv

.- net stop cryptSvc

.- net stop bits

.- net stop msiserver

.- Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

.- Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old

.- net start wuauserv

.- net start cryptSvc

.- net start bits

. -net start msiserver

Restart and try again.

You can also update manually, by downloading the Windows ISO from its Official Microsoft page:
