Windows Update 0x80070057 error - is there a soultion?
Hi Folks,
Tried umpteen things in the last 24hrs to resolve a problem I'm experiencing with Windows Update - so I'm hoping that the good folks at SevenForums might be able to help....
I have managed to manually install the .NET Framework 4.6.1 (via this link to KB 3102438: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down....aspx?id=49981).
I have run the Windows Update Troubleshooter several times (link: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9830262) and I always get the same error - see image below.
I have also run the System Update Readiness Tool (KB947821) from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down....aspx?id=20858 several times and also the EasyFix 50205.msi
When I run Windows Update - all I get is the following (and after an hour of "no progress", I give up).
I ran a full AV scan yesterday after updating the definitions files (Kaspersky Total Security 16.0.0.614e) and a Malwarebytes scan - again after updating - both found no threat.
I have also run sfc (System File Checker) three times from an elevated command prompt (after re-boot each time) and have no reported "integrity violations".
Getting short of things to try.
Machine details:
CPU: Core 2 Duo T5800 2GHz with 4GB RAM.
HDD: WD Black 750GB with 222GB free
Windows OS: Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium SP1.
Any help gratefully accepted - thanks in anticipation.
Zaph
BTW, I DO NOT want any update to do with Windows 10 carp
