Windows 7 Updates refusing to install. Error Code ; 0X8007371B
Hello,
For the past few weeks I have not been able to update Windows and I keep getting the same Error Code ; 0x8007371B. The updates will download but the installation process seems to be blocked. I have run an SFC/Scan which was clear and have also run virus/malware checks which were also clear. I have downloaded and installed the SURT which installed KB947821 but the problem with installing updates persists.
I have also tried renaming the Software Distribution Folder via CMD but get the message 'Access is denied'. I have three CAB folders on my system - CAB, CAB2 and CAB.old. I suspect there may be a corrupted file somewhere but I really don't know what to do to keep my system up to date. My computer is working fine otherwise so I would rather not have to undertake a clean Windows installation. If anyone could oofer some suggestions as to how to fix this then I would be SO grateful.
Thanks in advance for any assistance. I am attaching my zipped CBS folder. I couldn't access the CBS file even with Admin permission "Access Denied" and it is too big to upload but I'm hoping that there is enough information here.
Thanks again,
Euan
