Windows Update error 80246008
My computer for some reason has not been able to do updates for several weeks because I keep getting the above error. When I click on it to get help with this error it tells me I need to change or restart the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) by opening Administrative Tools, then Double-click Services, then Right-click the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) service, and then click Properties. On the General tab, next to Startup type, make sure that Automatic (Delayed Start) is selected and Next to Service status, check to see if the service is started. If it's not, click Start. However, when I click start it tells me it can not start the BIT service and gives me an error code of 2147024894.
Now a few weeks ago my wireless internet would not work even though I had it turned on so I went into device manager and there were a bunch of yellow exclamation points next to all of the wireless and networking hardware names in the device manager. I manually went through and repaired them by having to reinstall all the adapter drivers to get my wireless working again. Now I don't know if I did something wrong then but since that time my computer has no longer been able to do windows updates.
