Windows Error Code 80070422 - Windows Updates

Hmm - the Device Manager looks OK.

As to the error with installing C++...
This error may occur when the Microsoft .NET Framework installation on the computer is damaged or is missing.
Try the below step to reinstall and repair the Microsoft .NET Framework installation on the computer and later check if you can install the software.
a) Click the Start button, click Control Panel, click Programs, and then click "Turn Windows features on or off." If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
b) Locate Microsoft .NET framework 3.5.1, uncheck the box, click OK and restart the computer.
c) After the restart again open "Turn Windows features on or off" and place a check mark next to Microsoft .NET framework 3.5.1 and restart the computer.

If the above step fails then I would suggest that you manually download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 and 2008 Redistributable Package and check if you can install the software.
In Programs and Features, do you show that you have installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable and Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable? If not, download from the links here.

Great, I do not see anything inside the Window when I clicked on "Turn Windows features on or off"

I made sure I uninstalled the Visual C++ 2005 from the Program and Features section.

Visual C++ 2008/2010/2012 is there but not 2005 since I uninstalled it as you suggested earlier.

OK - if we're lucky this may be a simple fix.

Open an elevated command prompt, and run the following commands:
​
reg load HKLM\COMPONENTS C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS​
reg delete HKLM\COMPONENTS /v StoreDirty​
​
reboot, and try the Turn Features.... again​

Hmmm - let's check something first...

Open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following command

REG QUERY HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\

post the results.


Here are some instructions to make life easier :)
1) To open an Elevated Command Prompt Window (the ECP window), click on Start, All Programs, Accessories – then right-click on Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator. Accept the UAC prompt.
2) To run the commands easier, highlight the block of commands, and right-click on the highlight – select Copy. In the CP Window, click on the black/white icon at top left – select Paste. The commands will run but may not complete the last command, so hit the Enter Key once.
3) To copy the results... click on the Black/White icon in the top left, and select Edit... 'Select All', and hit the Enter key - then use Ctrl+V or r-click+Paste to paste it into your response.

That all looks normal, although the following value is different to the one on my machine...
SystemStartOptions REG_SZ NOEXECUTE=OPTIN

... I don't think it's likely to be causing your problem.

I'll do some more research later.
