Windows Activation / Update problem on older computer
Hello All.
I am writing about a windows activation / update problem that has developed on my wife's computer. I started noticing the activation notices several months ago but am just now getting around to dealing with them. Simultaneously it seems, the windows update process stopped working as well. This system has been running fat, dumb, and happy for a number of years without major issues. So I find myself here and hoping that someone can help me.
I have run MalwareBytes, SuperAntiVirus, and Norton Internet security trying to find any indication of some type of infection. All came up with nothing other than some tracking cookies. I have also used Norton Utilities to scan for registry errors and it found some items which I allowed it to correct. But the end result is that I still have the problem.
My wife usually uses this system and I am rarely on it unless there is a problem. The default browser is Chrome. It is an older Dell system running a Core2 Duo 32 bit processor. Works fine for her and what she needs. Also, I have the hard drives running in a RAID 1 configuration using the motherboard's Intel RAID manager. About 1/2 of the disk space is unused and 4 GB Ram (3 usable obviously) on this system. Also, if it is relevant, this system started life as an XP system that I did a clean install on several years ago to get it to Win 7.
Anytime I try running Windows Update / Check for updates, it tells me that it is not running. I have gone through several threads on this site to ensure that the processes are running but nothing seems to make it work. I have also renamed the %windir%/SystemDistribution folders so that WU would recreate them but that didn't fix anything either.
In the lower left corner of the "Windows Activation Screen" stating that this version of Windows is not valid, there is a code "0x80004fe21" if that is helpful / useful.
I tried running the SURT process but got "Installer encountered an error - 0xc8000247" with an "Ok" option. Selecting that simply cancelled the process.
Here are the MGADiag results:
