Hello. ive got same issue with updating my windows. can you help? been having this issue for years.
Windows update failed (Install error 0x800703f1)
So ive had this problem for a long time now.. Windows update will not install and my firewall will not turn on (grayed out). I did a scan in the CMD and it says there is missing or corrupted files. I tried to do a ton of fixes on it an nothing is working. Also my firewall says "update your firewall settings but when i try to click on the use recommended setting its shoots me another error code (0x8007045b). I have a feeling that those 2 problems are connected can anyone help me?
Note: Ive also tried these in the powershell but that didnt work either.
