Error 80073712 The component store has been corrupted. any time when installing the Cumulative Update for Windows 11
This has been going on for a few months now, on win 11 PC's. 23H2, 24H2 and 25H2. We have at least 20 PC's right now with the issue.
Other win updates apply, just not the Cumulative Update.
Updates are ran from SCCM, but have also had the PC's try direct from MS, no change.
What we have done to "fix"
Ran the built in windows update troubleshooter, most of the time it says it fixed "something" but never fixes this issue.
Delete the update cache from SoftwareDistribution\Download and from the CCM Cache.
Flushed BITS and branchcache
bitsadmin.exe /reset /allusers
netsh branchcache flush
Ran "SFC /scannow", this sometimes finds an issue and says it fixed it, but never does, and sometimes finds nothing.
Running "Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" ALWAYS ends in this error.
Error: 0x800f0915
The repair content could not be found anywhere.
Check the internet connectivity or use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the image.
setting the source to the WIM the PC's are imaged from doesn't work either...
At this point the only fix i have left is reimaging these, any other ideas?
