Have an AMD x64 will not manually update windows.
It was however functioning with auto updates last week looking at the hotfix log.
Receive message:
Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer.
Both BITS and Windows Update are turned on in services.
Ran anti-virus and malware scans.
Tried MS Fix It & manually tried to re-register in command prompt:
regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
will not register
Also tried to delete all the files and folders inside of \Windows\SoftwareDistribution\ after disabling Windows Update service.
Just to note, there is a lot of hard drive activity during that time, and that explorer periodically crashes when looking for the updates.
I don't want to have to go through yet another clean install on the machine. :uhh:
