Hello,

I'm constantly trying to update my Windows 8 but I'm unable to do so, because everytime I try to update it, it fails to install because of an errors. To be specific, its two updates with different errors 8007371B and 80073712.
Those two updates are the only one showing up. Their id is KB2856373 (Update for W8 on x64 CPU's) and KB2781197 (Security update for W8 on x64 CPU's).
I have already tried sfc, chkdisk, Windows update diagnostics from Microsoft website, reseting the services, Windows build-in tool to fix Windows update errors and nothing helped.

Can anybody please help me out? I have no idea what to do.

Press :winkey: + X > select Command Prompt (Admin) > Type Dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth > press enter.

If the command reports store corruption next run > Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

After the tool has completed try running Windows Update again.

It says it is repairable.
Not that it was repaired.

The next dism command needs to be run to actually fix the corruptions.

Then run sfc /scannow to be safe.

Sure, the first script threw some errors.
The site won't let me upload the CBS log since its 667 mb and it always times out.
sfcdetails log also cannot be uploaded, I don't know why but when I looked on it, its totally empty so maybe thats the reason (tried to run the script two times and it always came up empty).

The corruption detected by running the Dism tool was from Windows Defender. That should be fixed once the latest Updates get installed.

Download & Run this tool.. http://download.microsoft.com/downl...9C6EED6BA7A9/DIAG_MATS_NETWORK_global.DiagCab

It looks like you have about 15 Updates available. Try installing one update at a time. If that update fails move on to the next one.


Please report back any information.

That is strange indeed, anytime I search for updates using Windows update it only shows up those two important updates I mentioned in first post of this thread and one update for Visual C++ 2010 Redist and I don't even have any updates hidden.
The diagnostic tool didn't find any problems and when I tried to install those updates one by one, every one of them failed and it seems they all fail when the progress bar is almost at the end.

Cannot delete cbs.log its used by some tiworker.exe application, same with edb.log in DataStore\logs which is used by "Information about application" process, exactly same problem with datastore.ebd.

Also, I cannot upload cbs.log from the desktop logs its 289mb but all others went fine this time.

Looking through the Windows Update log I can see something went wrong on the 18th. Use System Restore to restore the system back to the 17th. Then try to run Windows Update again.

System Restore:

Press :winkey: + X > select System > click System Protection > click System Restore > Click Choose a different restore point > choose a restore point on 1/17/2014 > click next.

It seems I have only one restore point and its from today. To be honest, I have these update issues for quite some time and I believe it was before 17th. I'm kind of starting to be affraid reinstallation of OS is the only way out of this. Although it wouldn't be a big deal for me if I wouldn't lose the data or got them moved to windows.old folder.

Alright, reinstalled and now everything works fine, I finally managed to even get all the updates and even upgraded to Windows 8.1 and it was worth it after all :). It was probably some malware thing somehow blocking the Windows update.

I can recommend anybody watching this thread and having similar issues to go through those pages. There are some nice tips that are worth learning/trying.
