Windows update failing 0x80070424 error
Heya,
I'm using Windows Home Professional 64 bit and have had trouble installing updates. Going through the steps nominated here produced the following:
1: Attempting to run SURT from the linked download produced an error:
Installer encountered an error: 0x80070424
The specified service does not exist as an installed service.
2: sfc /scannow came back with:
Windows Resource Protection did not find and integrity violations
3: Attmepting to check for updates produced an error:
Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer.
4: CBS.zip attached as instructed
Elsewhere I found a suggestion of making a copy of files, registry entries from a working install and inserting them on the busted windows, but I only have one PC running Windows 7.
Thanks in advance for any help.
