Windows Update Error 80073712 Long term issue
Hi,
So a little background. I've been unable to get a successful windows update for probably 2 years. Possibly longer. Numerous times I've sat down and spent a few days trying to resolve it and then given up and moved on, but I'm having other issues currently that I'd like to fix and thought I would try and start with this one in case correcting it may help in the other issues.
- This is an aging installation, I believe initially installed in 2009
- I no longer have the Windows Ult 64 installation disc, so I do not have the recovery options from disc, nor can I re-install
- Being such a long term issue I of course do not have a recovery before the issue to work with
- I plan to build a whole new system in the next year (waiting on the new processor families), so I'm trying to stretch this system out until that occurs
- If memory serves correctly, I believe this began after a nasty virus, which my anti-virus managed to clean but it seemed to have some lasting damage as a result
- I've run SURT
- SFC does not work (I believe this is likely the root of my problems). CSI Unable to Query Store Version 0x00000002
- Windows Update error 80073712

Also. Malwarebytes is scanning my system as I type this, and I ran "CHKDSK C: /R" earlier tonight.
