    OK - Please open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following commands

    Code:
     
    REG QUERY HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate  /S >> "%userprofile%\desktop\WUSETTINGS.TXT" 
    REG QUERY HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer  /S >> "%userprofile%\desktop\WUSETTINGS.TXT"

    REG QUERY HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU  /S >> "%userprofile%\desktop\WUSETTINGS.TXT" 
     
    .
    This will create a file on your desktop - WUSETTINGS.TXT - please upload the file to your reply.


    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.
    Here's the WUSETTINGS. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers REG_DWORD 0x1 NoAutoUpdate REG_DWORD 0x0 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer NoInternetOpenWith REG_DWORD 0x1 NoDriveTypeAutoRun REG_DWORD 0xdd NoCDBurning REG_DWORD 0x1 NoWindowsUpdate REG_DWORD 0x1 ClearRecentDocsOnExit REG_DWORD 0x0 NoRecentDocsHistory REG_DWORD 0x0 NoInstrumentation REG_DWORD 0x0 NoLowDiskSpaceChecks REG_DWORD 0x1 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\WindowsUpdate DisableWindowsUpdateAccess REG_DWORD 0x1 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers REG_DWORD 0x1 NoAutoUpdate REG_DWORD 0x0

    After cleaning up the formatting - this is what that chunk looks like...
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU
    NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers REG_DWORD 0x1
    NoAutoUpdate REG_DWORD 0x0

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
    NoInternetOpenWith REG_DWORD 0x1
    NoDriveTypeAutoRun REG_DWORD 0xdd
    NoCDBurning REG_DWORD 0x1
    NoWindowsUpdate REG_DWORD 0x1
    ClearRecentDocsOnExit REG_DWORD 0x0
    NoRecentDocsHistory REG_DWORD 0x0
    NoInstrumentation REG_DWORD 0x0
    NoLowDiskSpaceChecks REG_DWORD 0x1

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\WindowsUpdate
    DisableWindowsUpdateAccess REG_DWORD 0x1

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU
    NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers REG_DWORD 0x1
    NoAutoUpdate REG_DWORD 0x0
    You have a lot of entries there - all of which are totally unnecessary, and none of which normally exist in a Home Premium system

    Please open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following commands (They may or may not work, depending on the registry permissions)


    REG DELETE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU
    REG DELETE HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
    REG DELETE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU

    Once the commands have run, close the window and reboot - then try Windows Update again.

    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.
