WaaSMedicService problem -- Issue found by :WinRETargetingPlugin

Anonymous

Hello,

My PC crashed frequently due to a faulty memory stick. When I used a new memory stick, the problem didn't occurred anymore. Unfortunately, the crash also occurred during the windows update after the in-place upgrade. Until now, I have been unable to download and install two important updates -- the latest cumulative update and the update from August. (Two error codes (0x80070643 and 0x800f0805) appeared alternately)

I just tried Windows update troubleshooter and get a diagnosis --

WaaSMedicService

There is the built-in System Image Backup (via Control Panel → Backup and Restore (Windows 7) → "Create a system image") to completely backup the OS, System, and the Recovery partitions.

However, the System Image Backup tool is deprecated, and Microsoft recommends using a third-party tool for image-based backups. "Macrium Reflect" (Trial is available) is my preferred option. An image-based backup completely backs up the chosen partition, so you can revert to the original configuration later if needed. Look for the "Macrium Reflect backup" tutorials on the web. There are lots of guides available.

//Can I save the complete OS image backup in my PC's local disk? If so, if there is a problem with my system and it cannot be used normally, is USB drive available for performing a OS image recovery?//

Macrium Reflect has an option to create a Rescue media. It can be used to restore the backed up image offline.

Thanks for your suggestions!

I want to exclude corrupted drivers, corrupted registry entries and components that cause Windows update issues from system image backup, and only keep files, programs, settings, drivers, normal registry entries, components that makes the OS work etc. How can I do this in Macrium Reflect?

Could you provide me detailed steps of your solution?(replace the DRIVERS hive by extracting a fresh copy from the ISO and running Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to completely remove NVIDIA drivers" )
