RA:  0xf081F CBS_E_SOURCE_MISSING

JB:   The fault code I get is not included in the reference list in you link.

You didn't notice that they left off the 800 (saving 3 bytes per entry for CBS return codes)?   ; )

I don't think you went back far enough.  See if you can get better clues from the supplementary diagnostics.  If there is a "WER Report" you can find it with msinfo32 under Software Environment.  Each record is actually a binary encoded multi-line report but it is easy to get a readable version of it by replacing all the  (hex) CRLF with real Newlines.  One way is to capture it to Clipboard, then in a TechNet Sandbox forum editor frame use its HTML button, Paste your line(s) in, then click Update, then click HTML again.

However, there are other things you could do with the clues that you have discovered so far.  For example, the two files that were "Moved", where did they go and were they really "moved"?  To check I would use this PowerShell 2 line script:

cd \

LS -Re -Fi System.XML.dll -Fo -EA:SilentlyContinue | sort LastWriteTime | ft LastWriteTime, Length, FullName

Looks like PCR is right about .NET Framework being a possible factor.  And the other one reminds me to warn you that if you have a third-party security package running it would be best to uninstall it before trying again.

Otherwise, I imagine doing a  DISM RestoreHealth  could be useful.  You can do it in PowerShell with

Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth

See what kind of report you get from that.  If you look right after it is done it will be at the bottom of your current CBS.log.

Hi PCR,

         I do have .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.7 with a black square entry so not all the sub boxes are ticked.  I assume these were required by some software I have installed.

         The help article does not reference 0x800f081f  error, there is no entry. I believe I referred to this article in my original post regarding this particular problem.

         There is a fix  https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=30135  for .NET Framework problems which I have not tried yet because I don't want to randomly try everything and F the lot up and at the moment I do not know if it is .NET causing the problem.

Hi RA,

         CBS Log contains a number of references to the error and I have pasted below what appears to be the appropriate block containing all the references to the

0x800f081f error.    The lot is all gobble de gook to me. There are also 3 sub folders containing the same, presumably from multiple tries.

The fault code I get is not included in the reference list in you link.  This PC had a clean install of 1709 in mid February and this is the first true Win 10 Update. I have 51 relating to Office 2010 plus a few drivers and Win Def Updates and 1 Flash Update 

I would like to know if possible:-

              1/.  Why does Windows fail to report that an Update has failed twice, it was only by chance that I checked for a problem.

              2/.  Why a new download every time, it is like have an old Commodore Computer.  Surely the Update file is verified and as a guard against corruption contains some form of Checksum.

0x800f081f  error code

Try looking for that in the CBS.log (or archived versions).  You could use ReportingEvents.log to find a timestamp to use as an index into a particular piece of it.  Then look backwards, sometimes a long way back, to try to infer a cause for that particular code.

BTW here's how you can know that it is CBS

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/938205/windows-update-error-code-list

0xf081F CBS_E_SOURCE_MISSING source for package or file not found, ResolveSource() unsuccessful
