Click Start
Type CMD
Right-click CMD.EXE
Select Run as Administrator

Type DEL C:\Windows\Log\CBS\CBS.log (don't worry, a persistant copy is
stored in CBS_persist.log
Type SFC /SCANNOW

It should come back with an error message...
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some
of them.

If it doesn't say it was unable to fix some of them then you can stop here
and ignore the following as it won't help you.





Type FINDSTR /C:"repair" C:\Windows\Log\CBS\CBS.log

You should get an output that looks something like this. Your output maybe
different.

You might want to download a utility called ERUNT (Emergency Recovery
Utility NT) to make a backup of the registry before continuing.


The following is an example, you may want to post the actual errors you get
from the CBS.log for addition help.


This is what I do to fix this problem in this example...

After you backed up the registry, run Regedit and navigate to
HKLM\COMPONENTS\DerivedData\Components\

Looking at the line where it can't repair member file "AuthFWPGP.DLL". I do
a search (in my case) on Networking-MPSSVC-Admin, because AuthFWGP.DLL is a
member of Networking-MPSSVC-Admin.

The key I am going export first is...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS\DerivedData\Componen ts\amd64_networking-mpssvc_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6001.18000_none_669822 5d718813b0


amd64
because of "pA = PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_AMD64 "

31bf3856ad364e35
because of "PublicKeyToken = {l:8 b:31bf3856ad364e35}"

6.0.6001.18000
because it's the matching version number

none
because "Culture neutral"


After exporting which saves the entry to a .reg file, delete this key. Then
run SFC /SCANNOW to check for any other problems. If no more problems are
found do a Windows Update.

I found this works for various other 800xxxxx errors related to Windows
Update.
