DISM Error 14098 : The Component Store Has Been Corrupted

Question

Windows Server 2016 on Hyper-V

We had a power outage and now its stuck on a BSOD 0cx000021a loop

I can access windows RE - after extensive reading I had tried the following commands:

DISM /Image:C:\ /ScratchDir:D:\Scratch /Cleanup-Image /checkhealth
DISM /Image:C:\ /ScratchDir:D:\Scratch /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:E:\Sources\Install.wim:2 /LimitAccess
DISM /Image:C:\ /ScratchDir:D:\Scratch /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /source:WIM:E:\Sources\Install.wim:2 /LimitAccess
DISM /Image:C:\ /ScratchDir:D:\Scratch /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:C:\WINSxS /LimitAccess

Eventually all paths lead to this as an issue:

Now, I think the error is due to an incorrect update schedule of a rollup pack

so I tried

dism.exe /Image:C:\ /ScratchDir:D:\Scratch /get-packages /format:list

dism /image:c:\ /ScratchDir:D:\Scratch /Remove-Package /PackageName:Package_for_rollupfix~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~14393.4583.1.3

This also results in the 14098 component store corrupt error

Unfortunately I do not have a backup to fall on, it s new site I've just turned up to and the previous MSP did not make any backups of the Hyper V machine

Can anyone help? have spent a good 30 hours on this and have reached a dead end!

Thanks

Hi there,

I can see you are getting in to the recover mode , can you try System Restore option under Advanced Options and follow with onscreen instruction to restore your computer to earlier point of time. If problem still persist, then select Reset this PC with Keep my files option. While performing reset ensure to select Keep my files. If none of this works then you can try to repair your computer by creating a Windows 10 Bootable media.

Hope this Answers all your queries , if not please do repost back .

See if you can boot into Windows RE command prompt then perform the following steps:
(comments are in parenthesis)

(Type:)

C:
dir
D:
dir

bcdedit | find ""osdevice"

(select the partition drive letter, this should be the windows drive and not the USB drive)

(For this post I wii use C: however you should pick the drive letter that you found that has the windows files on your computer)

(The proper drive will display: perflogs, program files, program files (x86), users, windows, etc.)

cd \windows\system32\config

(it should now display: C:\windows\system32\config>)

dir

(It should display: bbi, bcd-template, components, default, drivers, elam, sam, security, software, system, vsmidk, journal, regback, systemprofile txr, etc.)
(All of the files sizes should be sizable. If it displays zeros then abort.)

(Make a new directory and name it backup or something similar.)

MD backup

(Copy all of the files into this new directory)

copy . backup

(It should now display bbi, bcd-template, components, default, drivers, elam, sam, security, software, system, vsmidk indicating that the files were copied.)

(Change the directory to regback.)

cd regback

(It should now display: C: \windows\system32\config\regback>)

dir

(It should display: default, sam, security, software, system, etc.)

(All of these files must be sizable. If it displays zeros then abort.)

copy . ..

(It should now display:
DEFAULT
Overwrite ..\default? (yes/no/all):)

a

(It should now display: same, security, software, system and that the files were copied.)

exit

(click turn off your PC)
(remove the USB flash drive)
(power on the computer)

The website font is malfunctioning and the symbols for star were not displayed.

These are the earlier commands using the menu code sample

C:
dir
D:
dir
bcdedit | find ""osdevice"
cd \windows\system32\config
dir
MD backup
copy *.* backup
cd regback
dir
copy *.* ..
a
exit
