0x80073712 The component store has been corrupted, During patches installation

Sometimes, during monthly patches installation, you get this error-0x80073712 The component store has been corrupted.

This can be seen in updatesdeployment.log, when content download has finished and installation is ongoing.

 Progress: Status = ciStateError, PercentComplete = 0, DownloadSize = 0, Result = 0x80073712

Solution:
Try this command: Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth

This  will restore the system files from the installation source at c:\winsxs

If you are lucky, it fixes it!
Note: It takes time to complete....
