    Sorry for the late reply! I thought I had replied to this. Let's try running that batch file again, but this time as an administrator:

    Batch File


    1. Click the Start button , click All Programs, click Accessories and then click Notepad
    2. Copy (Ctrl+C) all of the text in the following box and paste (Ctrl+V) it into Notepad

      Code:
      taskkill /f /im wuapp.exe
      
      if not exist %SYSTEMDRIVE%\tom982 mkdir %SYSTEMDRIVE%\tom982
      
      icacls C:\Windows\system32\wuapp.exe /save %SYSTEMDRIVE%\tom982\wuapp
      
      takeown /f C:\Windows\system32\wuapp.exe
      
      icacls C:\Windows\system32\wuapp.exe /grant administrators:F
      
      ren C:\Windows\system32\wuapp.exe *.bak
      
      copy C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-w..pdateclient-activex_31bf3856ad364e35_7.6.7600.256_none_66110e7f0b087d75\wuapp.exe    C:\Windows\system32\wuapp.exe
      
      icacls C:\Windows\system32 /restore %SYSTEMDRIVE%\tom982\wuapp
      
      sfc /scannow
      
      copy %SYSTEMROOT%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\CBS.txt
      
      start notepad.exe %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\CBS.txt
    3. Go to File > Save As... and save it to your Desktop named fix.bat. Make sure you change the Save as type to All Files (*.*)
    4. Locate fix.bat on your Desktop and right-click on it, click Run as administrator


    This will create a file on your Desktop, please upload this to Mediafire like before

    Tom
