    Windows Update Broken - Error code: 0x80073712


    Hi,

    I use Linux 99.9% of the time. I literally use Windows for approximately 3 things all involve using Microsoft Office products.....yet, somehow Windows has found a way to break itself. I don't even use it to surf the web at all because of how vulnerable it is to malware and viruses....


    Any advice appreciated. I've already tried numerous things including:


    1 Full scan for malware viruses couldn't possibly have any as again, I don't actually use my Windows boot for anything other than Word occasionally;

    2 Windows updater troubleshooter - found no issues - of course....is the Windows troubleshooter EVER useful. I've never had it fix a single thing in 25 years of using Windows;

    3 Ran file system scanner chkdsk - claimed things were found and fixed, rebooted, nothing;

    4 Tried this tool: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Reset-Windows-Update-Agent-d824badc


    I did options 2,3,4,6,7


    With 7, it looks like DISM spits out an error about not finding image source.....Googling this made my head spin. Am I correct that with this error I may have to reinstall entirely? Did Windows really self-corrupt so much that I may need to format ???


    very frustrated....any help appreciated

    :)
