Windows 7 update error 80246008 - since 08/13/2015
I thought this was going to do it, but alas, the BITS service is back to manual and NOT started......
System: Win 7 Home Premium SP1
Toshiba Satellite L775D-S7135
4 GB RAM (3.48 GB usable)
AMD A6-3420M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 1.50 GHz
64-bit Operating System
A little background - my last successful Win7 update from MS was mid August 2015 (Adobe Flash Player 18, Auslogics Disk Defrag, Auslogic Registry Cleaner, Auslogic Registry Defrag). Anyhow I had no idea I was not receiving any updates until I was working on my moms desktop Win 7 and saw she was having updates installed but I was not....
So, I install Avira v14 Internet Security Free, Malware Bytes, Super Anti-Spyware and they do not find anything...
Running under the Windows SELECTIVE STARTUP w/load system services and JUST the windows services (however Avira Mail Protection, Real-Time Protection, Web Protection) also running....
BITS is shown as being checked, but STOPPED
Here I am...
- I followed Steps 1 thru 5
- My COM+ Event System was started and Automatic
- My BITS was NOT started and Automatic-Delayed
STEP I - Downloaded Reset_Windows_Update_History.bat & Ran - OK
STEP II - Folder Existed
STEP III - It was Empty
STEP IV - Ran MS Fix 50202 in aggressive mode (checked it); rebooted PC
STEP V - Uninstalled Auslogic BoostSpeed 8, BitMeter, Auslogic Driver Updater; rebooted PC
(*** should I have UNINSTALLED AVIRA, too??? ***)
DID NOT need the EventSystemWin7.reg as COM+ was A-OK
DID DOWNLOAD BITSWin7.reg and placed on desktop
DID DOWNLOAD PsTools; copied PSEXEC.EXE to C:\Windows\System32
Extracted the PsTools fix to my DESKTOP
RAN psexec -s -i -d regedit in the CMD as Administrator in C:\Windows\System32
RAN REGEDIT.EXE in the CMD as Administrator
IMPORTED BITSWin7.reg into the registry - it was SUCCESSFUL
Exited REGEDIT.EXE; closed all OPEN windows, folders, etc - REBOOTED PC
Logged in and checked the BITS (now manual and NOT started)
I started the Control Panel >> Windows Updates and it found 17 updates, including the following:

I even tried to MANUALLY start BITS, but get that same darn error message:
"Windows could not start BITS on Local Computer. For more information review the System Event
Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific
error code -2147024894."

I tried the 2nd item (Security update for .NET 3.5.1 - 646 bytes)
>> but it NEVER downloads anything
>> seems to get "stuck" trying to download and errors with the "80246008" code
So, I am at a loss..... can you think of or see anything I missed or should try next?!?
