Can anyone remember the manual workaround fix for the 0800B0100 Windows update error?
The official M$ fixes don't work - the Mr Fixit automated fix and the System Update Readiness tool all fail.
I have done a manual fix before including deleting the Software Distribution folder, but there's more to it than that and I can't find it on Google.
Thanks,
Neil
Solution 3 (which I mentioned looked promising for what you are after) performs renames on:
SoftwareDistribution\DataStore
SoftwareDistribution\Download
system32\catroot2
And as I mentioned it also gives many more things a kick so looks like a good bet.
Glad to hear you got things sorted.

People may have noticed I don't like to see unanswered posts :¬)
I saw it initially Hmmm and pondered .... and searched ... and found loads of answers and possible solutions including the one you posted. If I can find it and I'm not the one with the exact problem, then others could find it too ;¬)
As there were initially no responses, I did a 'repair install' and did the upgrade option within setup, which did the trick.
I'll have a look at that post for future reference.

This Microsoft Post in answer to the question:
I cannot fix the 0800B0100 Windows Update error seems to have done the trick - try running through all the offered Windows Update solutions. The 3rd solution offered seems to give many 'update' components a kick!
If that fails searching that forum for your error shows a number of other results.
