If you receive an error that reads "Windows Update components must be repaired, One or more windows update components are configured incorrectly" then here are the steps to fix Windows Update.

1: Run Windows Update Troubleshooter

The first step would be to use the Windows Update Troubleshooter from Safe Mode with Networking.

Click Start > Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot and click on Windows Update. Follow the prompts and reboot when finished.

2: Run DISM

Open Command Prompt or PowerShell as admin. The first text you'll need to type in is Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image followed by each of the following three options that can take 15 minutes or more each.

We should note that many people have had good luck only running the first option, /ScanHealth.

Scan the image for corruption: Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth See C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log for the log.

See if the image is repairable and healthy: Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

Repair System Image: Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

If DISM reports back that the drive can be repaired, then you'll need to repair the image. Follow the commands below using your paths.

Repair an online image using your own sources: Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:c:\test\mount\windows /LimitAccess

Repair an offline image using a mounted image as a repair source: Dism /Image:C:\offline /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:c:\test\mount\windows

In some cases, an image can be corrupted while modifying it with DISM. Use /Cleanup-MountPoints to repair it.

3: Run System File Checker (SFC)

Note: You can run SFC before DISM, but you'll still need to type in DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth before running System File Checker.

Next, type in sfc /scannow and press the Enter key.



System File Checker will now scan for and replace files from the Windows cache, typically located at C:\Windows\System32\dllcache.
