Windows Rollup KB4093118 Failed: 80004005 (SOLVED! FOR MANY UPDATE KB, FINALLY!)

<< < (2/3) > >>

I ID'd the registry key because it is the only one in which I have actually removed entries pointing to system files; I wonder if this is the reason for the Windows Update failure; however it has nothing to do with peerdist.  The only thing related to peerdist aka branch cache that I have done was disabled the service peerdistsvc and its dependency http; and disabled peer caching for bits under group policy and "do not allow the computer to act as a bits peercaching server" and "do not allow the computer to act as a bits peercaching client" the two of which are (and I may be mistaken)  apparently related to branch caching.

Boggin:
You shouldn't have to chew on like this every month just to get Windows updates and I'm surprised a repair install didn't fully resolve the problem.

That Access Denied error code is a PITA.

Do you still want me to copy that registry key later when I'm able to get onto my Win 7 machine ?

Just seen your latest reply - do you have restore points that will take you back to before you removed those items ?

It's always prudent to create a restore point before making major changes to the registry.

dugadugadid:
I already made so many changes that I would be better off doing a dist upgrade again, probably will have to every month until this is figured out.  Would love an original copy of the reg files... that would help me a lot, and i can add them in by hand anyway just for the entries that i removed.

dugadugadid:
I don't have a restore point going back that far and if i did it would uninstall everything on my computer; I tried editing the cab files and the install threw me an error; the certs i exported ensure the install files haven't been tampered with so I doubt that route will work,  and I haven't figured out how to use signtool.exe to sign it with them properly, it tells me "SignTool Error: No certificates were found that met all the given criteria."

dugadugadid:
One of the things that persisted after a dist upgrade was most of the registry tweaks i used to harden my machine, including the majority of changes to terminalservices, the missing entries were still missing and I was able to install the updates after the restore which prior-to were dropping the same errors they are now.
