#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : 0x80248007 -- the update datastore is damaged Fix : Rebuild the update datastore Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/win-0x80248007 Run as : Elevated PowerShell Expect : 15 minutes Risk : low Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX Scans fail with this code. Rebuilding loses the update history, not the installed updates. HOW TO UNDO IT Stop the services, delete the new DataStore folder and rename DataStore.old back. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
