Description
This page references all Cleaning SoftwareDistribution folder silent install packages. By using these packages with WAPT, our deployment software, you will be able to silently install Cleaning SoftwareDistribution folder on your Windows.
Package Function Description
This script is designed to reset the Windows Update mechanism on a Windows workstation. Specifically, it performs the following actions:
1 - Stops the Windows Update services (wuauserv), BITS (bits), and Cryptographic Services (cryptsvc)
2 - Completely deletes the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder in order to clean the update cache and fix potential corruption issues
3 - Restarts the same services so that Windows Update can function normally again and future updates can be detected more easily
4- Finally a DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase is ran
Use Cases
This script is particularly useful in the following situations:
- Repeated Windows Update failures
- Windows Update stuck or returning errors
- Need to start from a clean state for downloading Windows Updates on a workstation
- Windows updates remain in "Pending" status
This script can be automatically deployed via WAPT as part of a one-time corrective action on workstations. It runs immediately after installation; if needed, forcing the package reinstallation will execute it again.
