Do you have UAC switched off?
Are you sure you're in an Admin account?
Have you had a malware incident recently?
How fresh is this install?


Please download the Farbar Service Scanner from

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/farbar-service-scanner/

Right-click on the saved file and select 'Run as Administrator', and tick all the options, then click on the Scan button - copy and paste the report to your response.

I have no idea about the UAC.
Yeah, i'm sure enough that i'm the administrator. (i think so)
About malware incident, it's been a long time ago i think. And it has been solved.
The install is about a few hours ago.

Here's the report :

Running two anti virus programs at the same time is not helping things.

SmaDav is the only piece of software I've ever seen on SoftPedia to get that bad a review - uninstalling would be a good idea. (AVG can get sniffy about certain things, as well p but that's a different story)

What other AV's have you had installed on this machine?

No point - if Access is denied then nothing has happened.

Let's see if we can do this another way.



Please download SFCFix from here... http://www.sysnative.com/niemiro/apps/SFCFix.exe and save it to your desktop

I've uploaded a file - sjiaa.zip - to my OneDrive at Noel's OneDrive
Please download and save it to your desktop.
Right-click on the downloaded file, and select Extract all…
Extract the contained file to your desktop - which will create a SFCFix.txt file there.

Now drag the SFCFix.txt file over onto the SFCFix.exe file - this should force SFCFix to run the file
It will create a new SFCFix log file on the - please upload that, then reboot and try Windows update again.

That looks as if you just ran the SFCFix executable, rather than dropped the SFCFix.txt file onto it - please try again.

OK, thanks.

I'll have to take advice on this one!
Please follow these instructions carefully (errors made in here can be fatal - and there's no easy way back)...

Create a new System Restore Point

Open Regedit
In the left pane, navigate to the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Key, and right-click on it.
Select Permissions

What identities are listed?
Click on the Advanced button
Click on the Owner tab
Who is listed as the Owner?

now hit the Cancel buttons until you're back in Regedit, and exit that, and post the answers to the questions.

It may tell us why things aren't working.

IN that case, all I can think of is that they must be either tagged as 'in use' or contain illegal characters which prevent the commands from working.
I'll see what I can figure out.
