  Follow these steps:

  a. click the Start button, click computer.

  b. now, go to this site: C:\windows\softwaredistribution\datastore\logs\edb.log

  c. delete the log file, and then restart the computer and check the issue.

  Well, it's going to be a long Chronicle, but in the end, the problem has been resolved. Please bear with me:

  Running the program MS Fixit in the past without success, I tried to run the update after you temporarily disable AVG, my program AV. no joy.

  I then ran CC Cleaner to get rid of some of 'dead weight '. I even used its registry cleaning option (which included saves).

  At that point, I did some 'household', & began to defragment my HD with Defraggler. But since it seems to take forever, I went to My Defrag, who finished the job much quicker.

  Although I tried to delete the edb.log file using method 3, I kept getting a message system which was unable to complete this action because the file has been opened in another program.  In the end, I was able to delete the file, but fact directly through Explorer. There also seems to be a sort of small file edb.log, indicating that it was a "recovered" version I deleted that one as well.

  At this point, I ran MS Fixit, who States that the Windows Update components needed to be fixed and proceeded to do so again. Because he had allegedly "fixed" my Updater in the past, I was not holding much hope that this time would be any different. So, after that what he has done, I was pleasantly surprised, I might actually start updating!

  However, the update message that a new version would be dl before I could go any further. So I did it.

  When the new version is started, it ran for about 10 minutes, coming with about 50 updates. According to flush out those who were of no use to me, finally I had dl and installed all relevant updates. And now, the update seems to work fine.

  Once again, my apologies for the long answer. But I wanted to tell the whole story, as I did not quite plan of RajithR.

  Thank you!
