Wuaueng.dll is now missing in Services.
This update agent was automatically installed on July 31. Shortly after, I started experiencing freezing, them BS and crushings, then eventually, on August 5th, failure to start. Somehow, I was able to get started on Safe mode and was able to run chkdsk which seemingly resolved all issues except for missing Restore Points in SR.(SR does not accept manually successfully created RP's).
Now, I just realized my newly revived system does not have this update agent. It is listed in update history but does not show in installed update listing. Wuaueng.dll is now missing in Services.
Any cause/effect relation between recent update agent auto installation, subsequent system crushing issues,... and after revival, missing Restore Points in SR and missing update agent?
