Numerous issues after windows update and Avira quarantine
I turned on my dell latitude running Win 7 Professional 64 bit 4MB ram 500GB HD and it updated windows and my Avira anti-virus which quarantined numerous files such as "api-ms-win-downlevel-shlwapi-l1-1-0.dll". I did my best to restore these files but afterwords, many programs do not work. I tried a system restore but did not have a restore point that would fix anything. I ran malwarebytes which found a few issues that it "fixed".
My problems include:
-Can't run a repair install of windows 7 (says it can't run setup.exe file)
-Can't run several programs (0xc000007b) error.
-Can't access Services in MMC. (keep getting error "Not enough storage to complete operation").
-sfc scannow finds errors but can't fix them.
-Can't uninstall windows updates
-IE 11 won't run and I can't turn it off in windows features. Can't uninstall the IE11 update.
-Windows update diagnostics says it "couldn't identify the problem"
-I select the option to turn on Windows Updates, but it won't turn on and I can't turn on the Update service from the Task Manager.
I have the CBS.log file from the sfc scan that I have uploaded.
I don't want to do a complete format and reinstall of the OS. I appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Rick
