| May 27, 2020 at 22:38 | comment | added | TemporaryUser | I managed to do In Safe Mode stop most services and clean corrupted files and remove Windows Update folder, but now Windows could not search for new updates with error code: 80080005 | |
| Apr 26, 2020 at 19:27 | comment | added | anon | For what it may be worth, there was an update in my Windows 7 system today 4/26 for Generic Volume Shadow Copy. See if updating your Widows 7 helps in any way | |
| Apr 23, 2020 at 12:03 | comment | added | TemporaryUser | The problem is related to corruption with the last windows update. Need try to clean these corrupted files from PendingRenames folder. Windows cannot automatically complete the installation of the last windows update on reboot. | |
| Apr 23, 2020 at 11:19 | comment | added | anon | Then you will just have to live with the issue. Nothing else has worked and Windows 7 has died, so time anyway to move along. | |
| Apr 22, 2020 at 22:58 | comment | added | TemporaryUser | No. It's a very bad solution. | |
| Apr 22, 2020 at 22:54 | comment | added | anon | If you truly need to solve the issue, back up the machine and reinstall Windows. That is truly the answer when "Nothing works" | |
| Apr 22, 2020 at 22:31 | comment | added | TemporaryUser | Windows 7 repair install only overwrite existing system files - this will not help. | |
| Apr 22, 2020 at 22:26 | comment | added | anon | You may wish to consider a Windows 7 repair install. See this Seven Forums link below. Use care and read the entire article before starting sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html | |
| Apr 22, 2020 at 22:25 | comment | added | TemporaryUser | DiskCleanUp also can't delete files from PendingRenames folder. | |
| Apr 22, 2020 at 22:20 | comment | added | TemporaryUser | Used Shadow Copy Storage space: 48 KB (0%) Allocated Shadow Copy Storage space: 640 MB (0%) Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space: 1.5 GB (1%) --- More than 48KB is not recorded and timeouts again. | |
| Apr 22, 2020 at 22:08 | comment | added | anon | I would try deleting the contents of the Pending Renames folders (no folders - just files). I ran this command on my very active Windows 10 machine and Pending Renames is empty there. There are two other non-empty folders but VSSADMIN does not deal with these. | |

| Apr 22, 2020 at 22:03 | comment | added | TemporaryUser | I tried this many times, the SFC cannot fix these errors automatically. Also, I can't fix this manually. | |
| Apr 22, 2020 at 21:55 | comment | added | anon | That is certainly possible. Also. Restart and run SFC again. Sometimes the second try corrects errors | |
| Apr 22, 2020 at 21:52 | comment | added | TemporaryUser | Maybe it's Windows updates that didn't install successfully. | |
| Apr 22, 2020 at 21:48 | comment | added | anon | You could look at the folders for old content that is no longer needed. I have installed software on that Windows 7 machine not too long ago and the entire folder is empty | |
| Apr 22, 2020 at 21:46 | comment | added | TemporaryUser | New program installations require to create restore point - which doesn't work. | |
| Apr 22, 2020 at 21:36 | comment | added | anon | That folder is empty on my machine. You may consider deleting the files with Unlocker 1.9.2 (Softpedia or Major Geeks) | |
| Apr 22, 2020 at 21:28 | comment | added | TemporaryUser | SFC reported errors at folder SystemRoot\WinSxS\Temp\PendingRenames\ but I can’t delete files in this folder even in Windows Safe Mode. | |
| Apr 22, 2020 at 21:20 | comment | added | anon | Those are all working here. The two you said did not work are my last two. I listed 10 in total. (1) do you have more than 10 and (2) try running System File checker and then restart (SFC /SCANNOW ) | |
