windows updates packages are corrupt (SOLVED)

Hi, Let those run. Please uncheck and recheck to try to refresh afresh.
                             The dependency services are more important in windows updates. Did you try shanes solution on this. I will give the link here

Try this . The problem is your computer is not properly talking with window update server.
                           Sfc scan files for system files proper and restore if there is corruption. There is no window updates solving present in the command. It only fixes the installation of system files problem. If those are corrupt , it will try to repair them and restore them from store and winsxs folders.

sfc /scannow said that there were corrupted files but could not replace some of them. The CBS.log is too long to post here so i have attached it. The dns server tweak did not work for me.

Shane:
A lot of times when I see that many mum files showing as bad it is because the cat security database isnt working, and I have found that besides a corrupt database it is because of the intel chipset drivers.

Do you have an intel chipset? And if so have you updated the drivers yet?

stinkoman247:
Yes I do, but I have installed and reinstalled all the latest drivers for my gigabyte ga-ep43-ud3l motherboard. That cat security database bugging out is the only thing I haven't heard of so far!

Shane:
The cat database is stored at
"C:\Windows\System32\catroot2\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}"

I had a system where the event viewer was shwoing errors with the database and such, this turned out to be the driver because when I ran this bat file the database never rebuilt itself. Soon as I updated, or I should say, removed the intel driver and put the ms driver back on for the ide controller the cat database rebuilt itself just fine.

But if it isnt driver related and the database needs rebuilt then this script here should do the trick. I am waiting before i add it to the windows repair tool :-)

So save the following to a bat file and then run that bat file as administrator or open a cmd.exe window as administrator and copy and paste 1 line (command) at a time.

Lets see how this does, after you run it and it was succesful, reboot the computer. Shortly after the database should start rebuilding. If you go and check "C:\Windows\System32\catroot2\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}" and it is still empty then we know we have a problem with the driver. :wink:
