I'm thinking the same thing :p

Download MalwareBytes and run a Full System Scan

Also, can you check/uncheck any other features in the "Turn Windows Features on/off" screen?

Actually, can I ask where you got your version of Windows from? If it's not genuine things would stop working like that.

Just a question of eliminating obstacles

its genuine and activated

and its for certain that the update is not working for whatever reason. Perhaps i need to take this to another thread, that is if they are not related... are they?

What about system restore?

If you have that turned on you could use it and it might fix things for you. Updates are very important!

Then I would make sure I have good virus and spy ware and firewall set up!
