Windows update service not running.
hi im trying to get windows update to work, I downloaded the SURT, & it wouldn't install ERROR 0X80080005. Then ran sfc /scannow 2 times & it didn't find any errors. when trying windows update, takes a while to come up once I click on it & then it tells me "windows update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. you may need to restart your computer." I have restarted several times. I even had someone online walk me through a manual cmd windows update start in command prompt. this computer was victim to some viruses, malware, & spyware, most (if not all) has been removed. so im assuming I may have missing files the sfc isn't catching. I guess I also should note im getting BSOD and they restart my computer before I can jot down the number. I did download the log checker & I uploaded the bsod zip. thanks for your help!
