Windows update service not working
Hi,
I hope someone can provide me some help.
I have recently bought an HP DV-7 pre-loaded with 7x64 Home Premium, and since I have started it up, it has not been able to download a single update.
When I start windows update and check for updates, it gives me the error:
Windows Update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer.
The service is however running according to services.msc
I have tried many things and searched for answers in many different places, and here are a couple of things I have tried without success:
1.) MS Fixit 50202 (yes, on aggressive and normal)
2.) MS Malicious software removal tool
3.)Micrsosoft update readiness tool wont install --> Installer encountered an error 0xc8000247
4.)sfc/scannow in cmd prmpt, It finds errors, but is unable to fix them
5.) Resetting the update service manually in cmd prmpt and in services.msc
6.)Full Malwarebytes scan in normal and safe modes
7.)Full super-anti-spyware scan in normal and safe modes
Among others
Any help would be much appreciated.
