W 7 update issue_error RC_DataStore code 0X800F081F
mrwoof:
Good evening all. W7 Update issue has been with me for the last few days.
Current behaviour “Checking for updates” runs for many hours without detecting any.
Troubleshooting steps taken,
I installed MS “fix” KB 3135445, nada.
Ran Fix WU Utility v 1.0 ( This utility will re-register a total of 114 .dll,* ocx and .ax files which are required for the proper functioning of Windows Updates. ) nada.
Cleared Windows Update Cache, following correct procedure.nada.
Ran Windows update diagnostic.diagcab which detected issues, (see attch result 1 & result 2) which flagged an error RC_DataStore code 0X800F081F. I have tried researching this to no avail.
I then ran a repair utility from the reputable “tweaking.com” the log attch “Repair_Windows_Updates” which may reveal info to those wiser than me .
I also attch a list of current updates in the system the last being Net Framework 4.6.1.
The Dell laptop is clean of infections / malware and stable. Security essentials updates do run well. So I'm out of ideas now and welcome your input .

A manual check for updates taking ages in Win 7 has been a widespread problem for a little while now and just waiting for them to come, usually has been the only solution - although manually installing a couple of specific updates has oiled the wheels for some.
You seem to have a different problem though and one I've never seen before and MS don't seem to give any help for that error in Win 7, other than perhaps to run a sfc /scannow.
See what the System Update Readiness Tool (SURT) can do.

This is a little over a 500MB download and also does a check for updates so can also take a while to run and when done, you can view its log in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS
Double click on the Checksur one and that will open in Notepad - but first, run the Pre-Scan in Option 2 of Windows Repair and if there is any Package File corruption, open a thread in the Cat and Mum File Requests section, posting the Pre-Scan report.

Thanks for the reply. SFC scannow detected as all well. Its late here so I'l try that tool tomo. You have reminded me that Belarc Advisor also detects & identifies missing updates.
Can you see anything helpfull in the tweaking repair log ?
Boggin:
I think I had similar in my WR log, but it's the Pre-Scan in Option 2 of the program I want you to run to see if that reports corruption as that can affect Windows Updates.
mrwoof:
Well Boggin, The readiness tool "Windows6.1-KB947821-v34-x86" came in at 233.5 megs. I ran it for a few hours as it was searching for updates, nada!
I ran the repair twice in safe mode & the open phase gave the all clear in the 3 scans. I attch logs generated, I assume the two logs "28.04.2016_xxx" give results for both runs. You can view the full folder if you have the time in the links below. Easier than a string of .txt files.

So I'l run the update again and see if there is any change in behavior.
A curious issue indeed...
