After all these years, it kills me that MU troubleshooting tool can't do this automatically.
Or, as a case in point, that there is nowhere in the standard Microsoft Update process to kick off that troubleshooting tool; so if you don't know about the tool you have no chance of finding it.
It's the kind of poor design that keeps IT folk employed, but no-one wants be doing these things that some well written code could do instead. Why is it so hard for Windows to respond to an 0x80070652 error (and others) by carrying out the steps above in a guided, prompted way?
