I've tried some solutions to this rare situation and nothing.

I mean the following:
Windows 7 - 01 - Check for Update troubleshoot - Screenshot.png

By the way, I've noted that:
1.- In 'View-Choose Details' window, there is "Name" option only (may be this is normal):
Windows 7 - 02 - Check for Update troubleshoot - View-Choose details - Screenshot.png

2.- But, in 'Tools-Folder Options' window, in the 'View' tab, option "Always show menus" (normally in "Files and Folders" section, second position) has disappeared!:
Windows 7 - 03 - Check for Update troubleshoot - Tools-Folder options ('Always show menus' disap.png
I didn't pressed the "Restore Defaults" button because I think this is for other purpose, isn't it?

So, I don't know what to do... I wonder someone of you may give me a hand to solve this...
In other words, please help me!

Thanks in advance,

Windows 7 "Check for updates" window appears in blank! (Following)

What solutions did you try? Did you do a sfc /scannow operation? Have you run a complete virus and malware scan? Have you read this?

Solution: #elementModuleHeadertext# Windows update

First of all, thanks very much for your asap reply. Nevertheless, I'm learning a lot!
I'm so sorry I didn't do anything this past weekend...

Second, I've followed carefully step by step your indications, which means a lot of Windows restartings -indeed that's no problem, just explaining what I did.

1) sfc /scannow :
These are the results:
Useless perhaps, I copied the CBS.log file in a .txt
View attachment 01a sfc scannow - 2012-07-02 Results.txt

Here is the .log
View attachment 219358

Please next see a capture of what I've seen after several restarts, ESET (Smart Security v4.2 Eng) always appears activated even after deselected it previously to a restart, and more than one time
02 MSConfig - System Conf 01.jpg

2) I've also run MicrosoftFixit.wu.Run.exe accordingly to the routine.
Told me something like it repaired 'what was possible'... nothing relevant (in my poor understanding), and it closed by itself.

But, the problem is still there... may be ESET causes it?...

One more thing, I've read the next supporting answer to this post telling me something about a trojan... I'm doing an ESET's in-deep running over all the hard disk (with two partitions) right now...
Let's see what happens anyway.

Do you have any additional suggestions, comments? Please let me know.
Perhaps and with very much time to this (!), I should do the routine one by one Services and Start items... what a big task...

Thanks to you again,

Pd. Please excuse my poor english.

Word of warning!!
I accidentally click a link on that page, and MSE threw a fit with a Blacole download!
Encyclopedia entry: Trojan:JS/BlacoleRef.G - Learn more about malware - Microsoft Malware Protection Center

Thanks for this important information, I'm gonna see such entry. Let's see what happens,
