Windows Update fails, Error - 80246008
I have been having the Windows update problem ( Update Error 80246008) since June. I found this thread
Windows Update Error 80246008 in Windows 7 - Fix
and followed all the instructions, still the BITS service doesn't start. When I try to start the BITS service I get the following error message
"Windows couldn't start BITS on local computer. For more info refer system log and refer to service specific error code 2147024893".
When I looked at the System event log , it's filled with errors about BITS service. The two errors that appear repeatedly are
1) The Background Intelligent Transfer Service service terminated with service-specific error %%-2147024893
2) The BITS service failed to start. Error 0x80070003
Another thing that I noticed while following Step 2 of the tutorial is, The folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Network\Downloader is present in my system , however I can't access it even using the Admin account. When I try to access it by double clicking on it, I get the following error message
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Network\Downloader refers to a location that is unavailable.
I have also followed the "Windows Update Posting Instructions" and the link to the CBS log file folder is given below. I have posted the link instead of attaching the file as the file size is more than 8 MB
CBS_Folder_logs
Any help to solve this problem is greatly appreciated.
