  1. Windows Update - WOF driver encountered a corruption


    Edition: Windows 10 Home 64-bit

    Version: 20H2
    OS Build: 19042.746

    --------------------------------------------

    So I was trying to install the latest "Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 20H2 x64-based systems KB4601382 and noticed windows update kept having "error encountered" somewhere during download or install. The error code windows update gives is "0x80073712". After googling for a bit I saw it was suggested to run the command:
    "DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /RestoreHealth"

    in command prompt while it was in administrator mode, to which I did.


    At 12.6% way through I received error 4448 stating:
    "The WOF driver encountered a corruption in the compressed file's Resource Table.

    The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log"


    Upon reading other's issues with this it has been said to do an offline update via downloading the latest update's ISO file and then installing it while having internet and 3rd party antivirus software disabled.
    Is this a correct solution to this issue and if so, how do I get the update ISO, perform the update, and am I at any risk of losing files when doing this? As in will it wipe my PC when I do this as if I had just installed windows?

    If you're reading this, thank you for your help in advance.

    :)

    Unlocked Realtek HD Audio Drivers Windows 7 & 8 (With Dolby Digital Live and DTS Interactive)

    DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .

    Error Encountered for drivers updates

    Running Win 10 v 2004 currently with a Dell desktop pc. When I went to Windows Update there was the version 20H2 update available along with Recommended updates of 3 drivers I am still deciding whether to install 20H2. When I checked the 3 listed drives for downloading and installing the Error Encountered notification. Oddly I have since retruned to Windows Update and the only update shown now is version 20H2?

  4. Windows Update - WOF driver encountered a corruption

    Windows 7 wont install drivers

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.
