    Under programs right click wups2.dll and choose Properties, when the Properties window opens, click the Details tab.

    BUT, if the installed firewall antivirus/security suite or a 3rd party is causing the "reading check error" then the Fixit may/does not work.
    If this is the case, then Configure the system to boot after download and Save the Fixit.
    Then, run the Fixit after the reboot to clean boot state.
    Restart and Cancel the clean boot steps, restart again to normal Windows mode.
