Windows won't update (KB2862152) after system restore.
This started about two weeks ago when I noticed my computer was occasionally shutting down for no apparent reason. I suspected that it was faulty Nvidia drivers because I've had problems with them before. I restored the system to before the problems occurred and then Windows just kept failing to start up. I eventually figured out that the restore messed with the Nvidia drivers (plus an unrelated minor driver to add to the confusion) and that prevented Windows from starting up normally. After a clean reinstall of Nvidia software didn't fix the problem, I noticed that Windows wouldn't update ('Failure configuring windows update') so I set out to eliminate that problem. I ran SURT and an sfc scan which only made the problem worse by making Windows inconsistently genuine
I'm not in much of a hurry, since I can just start it up without the Nvidia drivers but I'd like to be able to play my games again, so if someone can help me get my updates working and fix the ungenuine problem (it's genuine when I start it up but it will randomly become ungenuine) I can get some solid ground to fix the Nvidia drivers and post in the driver forums if I have to.
