Reboot your computer choose the option "Launch Startup Repair."

Choose the option "View Advanced Options For System Recovery And Support."

Choose the "Command Prompt: option. Start notepad - C:\Windows\system32\notepad.exe

Open the file C:\Windows\winsxs\pending.xml (make a backup copy just in case)

Search for the following text: 0000000000000000.cdf-ms Most likely you will see this entry 3 times.

Delete the all of the text staring from the first up to the point you see destination="\SystemRoot\WinSxS\FileMaps\_0000000000000000.cdf-ms"/>

This should be about 3 lines of text.

Save the file and restart the computer.
