  1. WOF - What is this?


    What is this registry key folder about? Also, I found there these registry keysWOF - What is this? :DWORD32CurrentMHzDWORD32MaxMHzI have i5-4570 CPU with 3200.0 MHz base processor frequency. I have turbo boost on tho with turbo max frequency of 3600 MHz. So I am wondering why those registry keys are set to 3201. When I set both of these registry keys to 3200, my mouse pointer movement felt different from when they were set to 3201.

    Hi kha333n,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community.



    It sounds like you are encountering WOF driver corruption when installing a Windows update on your Windows 11. Sorry for the inconvenience you are facing.

    Based on your sensible and comprehensive troubleshooting methods, the solutions below can be tried further to fix the issue.

    1. Reset Windows update components and clean up the Windows update cache.

    Enter: cmd in Windows Search and open the Command Prompt (admin) > Type in the commands below and hit Enter key after each line.

    net stop wuauserv

    net stop bits

    ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

    net start wuauserv

    net start bits

    > After that, restart your device and try the installation again.

    2. Perform an in-place upgrade of your Windows 11 (Unlike reinstallation or reset of the system, this repair process will not affect your data or programs. And won't waste a lot of time).

    • After the downloading process ends completely, double-click the downloaded .exe file to open the tool. > Click Yes > Accept > Select the Upgrade this PC Now option > Next > Click Change what to keep > Choose to keep your personal files and apps or start fresh. > Your computer will restart several times. > After that, log in to Windows 11 and make the needed settings.
    Note:

    1. Leave 20-25G space on your system disk to perform this.
    2. It is recommended to back your files up to avoid unnecessary data loss before performing this.
    We need to go through a series of steps to find the real cause of the problem. If the above steps do not solve your problem, please let me know and I will continue to assist you with the problem.







    Best regards

    WOF most likely means "Without Fan" (i.e. no cooler provided) ... AMD used that in their part numbers in older models iirc

    Windows Update - WOF driver encountered a corruption?

    Got error code 0x800f0984 in Windows 10 during 22H2 update--which failed. DISM shows there is driver corruption -- gives "Windows Update - WOF driver encountered a corruption"

    See a number of ongoing threads with no confirmed approach to fix.

    Have run troubleshooter, DISM, etc. and see pages of script files to potentially run but with no confirmed "works" and fixed results.

    Is there a MS solution for this????

    Running Windows 10 Pro - Ver 22H2, Build 19045.3324

    Would be appreciated with a 'real' answer to a fix!
