Unable to update Windows (error Code: Code 8004015)

original title: unable to update Windows

I run windows vista 32-bit, HP laptop, can provide details if necessary

When I try to update windows (my last update was 3/25), the update fails to check for updates, it reads:

An error occurred when the new updates for your computer.  Error (s) found: Code 80040154

I tried it without real result on my own troubleshooting.

In addition, I can't update Windows Defender, which signals that it cannot check the updates of definition with found error:
Code 0 x 80244001.

I can not also turns on the AVG identity protection as it times out when you try to configure.  I have performed analyses of the complete system with AVG, Malwarebytes and rootkits but with no infection research are, but I do not deny the possibility of having a hidden virus.

It may be helpful to say that my laptop has had problems with blue screens lately, even these problems with the updates before began. I got mixed messages on the blue screen, errors of entry being the most common. I think there may be something wrong with one of my drivers, I sent my laptop in for repair earlier and it wouldn't surprise me if they did not work.  However, I did the repair of the tool without any result Windows driver.

Finally, the system restore does not work on my system for some reason any and I do not have a backup disk.  Right now, I'm considering just buy windows 7 and all wiping.  My laptop is not really unusable, it's just embarrassing to have it down every day and not be able to update.

Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hello domgolf,

    Windows Update exception code 0 x 00000641 / 0 x 80070641 usually indicates a problem with the Windows Installer service.

    Sometimes it's because of a difficulty to access; Sometimes, that means he is absent or inactive (disabled) for a reason any.

    If you have used Iolo System Mechanic or any other registry cleaner for automatic crossings (auto-fix) and these exception codes, the cause is an overagressive difficulty of this app.

    First proposal is to cancel these final corrections by S M, then make sure it is not set to autorun or Auto setting.
    Do NOT continue to use System Mechanic until there is a permanent fix of Iolo.

    Contact Iolo (iolo.com) support

    and request a permanent solution.
