Hello!
unfortuantly I'm having some issues updating my PC to an error 0x800004003

have already done all the cmd.exe guide with /storehealth

have tried to fix it in the past but never thought much of it, until the performance of my pc started to get really affected. Like mentioned before tried doing some commands in my cmd.exe and ended up getting another error ("error - 87")

To keep it short and simple here's are my CBS log on a Gofile.io link!

    The error code 0x800004003 is not specifically mentioned in the provided context, but it is often associated with issues during Windows updates. Since you've already attempted to use the DISM command with /RestoreHealth and encountered another error (-87), it suggests that there may be a deeper issue with your Windows installation or the update process itself.

    Here are some general troubleshooting steps you can take:

    1. Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter: Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters > Windows Update and run the troubleshooter.
    2. Check for Corrupted Files: Since you mentioned using cmd.exe, ensure you also run sfc /scannow to check for and repair corrupted system files.
    3. Clear Windows Update Cache: Stop the Windows Update service, delete the contents of the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download folder, and then restart the service.
    4. Manual Update Installation: If the error persists, consider downloading the latest cumulative update manually from the Microsoft Update Catalog and installing it.
    5. Check CBS Log: Review your CBS log for specific error messages that could provide more insight into the issue. Look for lines that indicate missing files or other errors.
    6. Consider a Repair Install: If all else fails, you might need to perform a repair install of Windows 11, which keeps your files and applications intact.

    If you continue to experience issues, it may be beneficial to contact Microsoft Support for further assistance.

    If your system is currently trying to install version 23H2, your version of Widows 11 is very much out of date and even version 23H2 is no longer supported.

    1

    Click your Start Button, type winver and hit Enter

    Please provide a screenshot of the resulting dialog.

    2

    Open the Settings App

    Go to Windows Updates

    Please provide a screenshot of that window
