Windows Update and Features won't install after moving ProgramData

HUGE UPDATE

I now figured out why i can't install the .NET Framework 3.5 and new the Windows DirectPlay features.

I think this happens because i recently moved a lot of files. I wanted to do all Programs and stuff on my data HDD (F:), and windows running on my SSD (C:). I created those Symlinks via mklink /D:

C:\ProgramData → F:\ProgramData

C:\Program Files → F:\Program Files

C:\Program Files (x86) → F:\Program Files (x86)

and, most importantly to the answer below:

C:\Users\All Users → F:\ProgramData

When i try to install now the features .NET Framework 3.5 and DirectPlay I get the exact same errors as in my old question below.

Windows Updates are failing with error code: 0x80070bc9, Windows Defender with error code: 0x80070643

How can i make windows update and features work again without moving ProgramData back to C: drive?

OLD QUESTION:

When i try to install the .NET Framework 3.5, the installation failures.

I moved my ProgramData folder to another drive recently (I symlinked from C: to this drive)

The Install Error (C:\Windows\Logs\DISM) update: http://scshot.deepspace.onl/eff24e62-f2b6-431f-a280-821d48554f6e.log

The CBS (C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.txt) (only this file because it's the only one which was changed today) http://scshot.deepspace.onl/6d071d59-f6cf-4da5-a753-38f29a31150d.log

Error: 3017

The requested procedure failed. A system restart is required to revert the changes.

The DISM-Protokollis here: "C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log".

This may not solve the problem, but here is some advice.

First it is my experience that moving major Windows folders is problematic for Windows Update. In case of need, one should only move specific sub-folders, rather than the entire folder.

Second, the first error I see in the DISM log is :

2016-06-11 18:04:34, Info   DISM  DISM Package Manager: PID=9044 TID=7848 CBS session options=0x20100! - CDISMPackageManager::Internal_Finalize

2016-06-11 18:04:39, Error  DISM  DISM Package Manager: PID=9044 TID=7848 Failed while processing command enable-feature. - CPackageManagerCLIHandler::ExecuteCmdLine(hr:0x80070bc9)

2016-06-11 18:04:39, Error  DISM  DISM.EXE: DISM Package Manager processed the command line but failed. HRESULT=80070BC9

The error code 0x80070bc9 is typical of Windows Update errors. This error means "the request operation failed, a system reboot is required to roll back changes made".

My recommendations are (reboot and recheck after each step) :

1. Return the ProgramData folder back to its place

2. Run the sfc /scannow command to verify system integrity as described here

3. Run the command

fsutil resource setautoreset true c:\

Then in Safe mode try to delete these files from the Command Prompt (cmd):

cd %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine
attrib -s -h *
del *.blf
del *.regtrans-ms
cd %SystemRoot%\System32\config\TxR
attrib -s -h *
del /q *

4. Run the Windows Update troubleshooter

5. Last resort : Run a non-destructive re-installation (aka in-place upgrade) of Windows. This will keep your personal files and settings, installed drivers, programs and apps, and may return Windows to a fully working state. This method usually helps when nothing else resolves a Windows Update error. See the article Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade.

Before starting, I recommend taking good backups. It is best to also take a snapshot image of the system disk and ensure you can restore it when booting from CD or USB. AOMEI Backupper Standard Freeware is my recommended backup utility with its recovery boot CD / USB.
