@JChill:
It's fixed. The original issue was caused by an incomplete installation of the LCU/SSU update. It's now rectified.
You can revert to the previous state (from clean boot to normal startup) if you wish.

Tough one for me, thanks for any and all help!
New PC and Windows 11 install
Windows 11 Home
Version 24H2
OS build 26100.2894 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.36.0
Busy at work and took me weeks to migrate files and reinstall programs on new PC.
No problems with new system, everything running and no crashes.
Saw some windows update fails in March but antivirus and drivers were all updating so ignored.
Noticed repeated update fails this month

Stupidly dug in this time and much increased confusion and concern from common recommendations.
Removed all hardware, no programs running same results.
Manual attempt at update from Windows catalog standalone runs but returns
"This update is not applicable to your computer. check the documentation to find out if you need to install another update first"
Possible I'm missing an update that is hanging the new ones, but can't figure out how to sort that.
Windows Update troubleshooter returns
"The Windows Update diagnostic failed to run" **** and recommends talk to an agent
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth run in admin cmd returns

The component store cannot be repaired.

Class not registeredSFC /ScanNow run in admin cmd returns
Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service.
Fix problems using Windows Update "This option is currently unavailable"
Go back "This option is no longer available on this PC"
Any other way to repair Win 11 to avoid redoing all programs, drivers, and files?
I'm stumped.

Please run the fixlist below.
Post fixlog.txt.
That should resolve the issue in most cases.
Restart Windows and launch "optionalfeatures.exe" to test.

"Windows Installation has failed"
Seems like dead end and I should put work into doing a clean install???
Thanks
A clean installation may not be required in most cases. Let's check the logs first.
Download setuplogscollect.bat and save it to the desktop.
https://gist.github.com/winhelponline/26b28c4b695d183a842fbd1d5182959e
Right-click on the downloaded file and click Properties. Click "Unblock" and click OK.
Extract the batch file to the desktop.
Right-click on the file and choose "Run as administrator"
It outputs a SetupLogs.zip file on your desktop.
Share the file on OneDrive or GoFile.io and post the download link here.
(The batch file contains plain text code. You can read its contents using Notepad before running it. It collects the setup logs, msinfo32.exe log, drivers list, boot configuration info, and the compatibility appraiser results from your system.)

2025-04-18T05:56:17+00:00 Comfortable with running your script after reading it. Lot of data in logs, hard for me to process if includes any private identifying information.
Any option for me to PM you link to logs?
Thanks again for your assistance with this.

If possible, share the archive using the "Restricted" option in Google Drive. You can grant me access once I send a request.
