Unable to update Windows - neither online or offline
I reinstalled Windows and suddenly i am unable to get any windows updates. I tried to update online but when select "check for updates" it stuck on "checking for updates" and that's all. I waited about hour and a half but nothing happened. And during that time, in the Task Manager, i see a process svchost.exe with parameter -k netsvcs that loads the cpu over 50% all of the time and taking most of the RAM memory on my laptop with 2GB of RAM so i am unable to do anything else during that time. I didn't get any error messages, just "checking for updates" message.
Then i decided to try to update Windows offline and downloaded the updates with WSUS WSUS Offline Update - Update Microsoft Windows and Office without an Internet connection. But when i started the update it displayed a command prompt window and it came to the phase when it say: "Listing ids of missing updates" and it stuck in the same way when i selected "check for updates" for online update. And i see the same svchost.exe process to load the cpu in the same way and taking as much RAM.
My system drive is encrypted with TrueCrypt but i don't think this may cause problem with the windows update.
I run System Update Readiness Tool and it installed one hotfix successfully.
I run sfc scan and it didn't find any errors.
This is the CBS.log file.
