Introduction
Time the problem occurred to me: May 2018 on my windows 7 home 64bit.
Step 1
Find CBS log files folder
- Find CBS log files folder. The folder usually contains a .log file under 2 GB, and some .cab files.

Step 2
Remove any .log files larger than 2 GB
- Delete, or move away if you want to keep the logs, any .log files larger than 2 GB in the CBS folder.
- If makecab.exe is currently running and processing the log files, you may need to end it through Task manager.
