Hi Percy,

If your registry is corrupted then you can follow the below fixes in order to get it working again:

Fix 1. Check your System for Corrupted System Files

If any of Windows files become corrupted / damaged weird things can happen on your system, so first scan and see if you have any of these corrupted files on your system.
System File Checker scans the system and finds and replaces corrupted system files with the correct one.

1. Click on Command Prompt (Admin)
2. Once Command Prompt has started, click the Window, and type SFC /scannow and hit enter
3. Wait for this process to complete.

If you get a message that everything succeeded then try to run Windows Update again, if you get an error message which contains that corrupted files were found but cannot be repaired then please try to use a Restore Point.

Fix 2. Run DISM.exe to solve updating problems

The next thing is to use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool (DISM), this uses Windows Update to download files needed to fix corruptions on your system
To resolve this problem, use the inbox Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool. Then, install the Windows update or service pack again.

1. Click on Command Prompt (Admin)
2. Once Command Prompt has started, click the Window, and type DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and hit enter
3. Wait for this process to complete.

Fix 3. Clean Boot

After some time, the amount of programs and services on your computer will reach a high number, which can cause the Windows update issues, therefore have a clean boot.

1. Press the Windows + R, a Run Window will appear, then type msconfig and hit enter or open start and type msconfig and then click on msconfig
2. Then chooseSelective Startup
3. Then make sure only Load System Services is checked.
4. Now click on the Services tab
5. Check the box: “Hide all Microsoft Services“
6. Click the button: “Disable All“
7. Click on OK and reboot your system when prompted.

   

Now open your laptop and see if registry issues are resolved or not.
