win 7 update service not running, surt and sfc /scannow no help
After many problems with my win7x64 installation I restored to a macrium disk image from 2014 (not a clean install of win 7). All seemed to go well. My BSOD crashes, browser crashes, and startup and shut down issues seem to be solved.
When I was using the system back in 2014 (at the time of making the disk image) I don't remember having update issues.
When I try to run windows update now I get a "windows update service not running" although it shows as running in task manager.
I dl'd and ran the surt program and it installed a KB hotfix.
Edit: The download manager here says the CBS file at 9.24mb is too big to upload, 8.0mb being the limit.
SFC /SCANNOW showed errors that could not be fixed by that program.
