Win7 Win Update Fails to initialize; administrator permission required
On a Dell Optiplex 755 with Win7 Home premium, updated through July 7, Win Update suddenly fails to initialize with the an message claiming administrator permission is needed. This is weird as there is only a single user account set up on the PC and it has administrator status. The PC also has Kaspersky Internet Security 2015 s/w installed.
The exact error message text(s) are (as I wrote them down): "Some settings are managed by your system administrator" and " Windows update cannot currently check for updates because updates are controlled by your system administrator".
Could I have picked up some malware? Thanks, in advance, for all ideas, suggestions, or referrals to a tutorial that I haven't yet found.
