Windows 10: windows update error 0x80070017;

I keep getting the subject Windows Update error. I've tried every solution I can find online. Currently I'm trying this one: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10164/fix-windows-update-errors


I'm using Windows Power Shell (elevated command prompt) to run the following two commands:


DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth


sfc /scannow


The DISM command seems to run OK. (100% completed successfully.) But the sfc command won't complete.

Each time I run it, I get to 12% and then it bails out with

"Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation."


I created the sfcdetails.txt file and there is no clue about what is wrong. It is just a long repeating list of:

Verifying 100 components

Beginning Verify and Repair transaction

Verify complete


Then, at around 000009bd or 000009bb I get a final "Beginning Verify..." and nothing.

I don't believe it would do me any good to upload the sfcdetails.txt file as it is just as described above.

I'm stuck, with no clue as to what to try next.....
