The Windows update software is not installing and then provides an error code 8007000B.
There were 17 updates available that i have downloaded manually and the updater is still stating them as available for install.
I have tried the following fixes:
Fix 1
Please check TxR folder in (c:\windows\system32\config).
If it is not there create it and issue will be resolved.
If not follow following commands.
1. Bring up an elevated (Administrator) command prompt
2. Execute the following commands sequentially:
a. fsutil resource setautoreset true c:\
b. cd %windir%\system32\config\txr
c. attrib -r -s -h *
d. del *
3.Type: Cd c:\windows\System32\SMI\Store\Machine
Type: Attrib –a –h –s *.TM*
Type: Del *.TM*
Issue will get fixed.Result: Attrib –a –h –s *.TM* give a parameter error and there are no.tm files visible in the folder (c:\windows\System32\SMI\Store\Machine) I see only schema.dat files.
Fix 2
Downloaded a rebuild windows updater install and it provided the same error code 8007000B
Fix 3
Tried the sfc /scannow
No problems detected.
Any suggestions to resolve the issue?
