• Windows 8 cannot be updated

  My Windows Update service does not work and I cannot figure out how to run it.  I have run several scans for viruses & rootkits and kidnapped a couple whose names I can't remember (I think one was sirefef?).  Anyway, I scanned the snot out of this computer (tdsskiller, roguekiller, malwarebytes, Eset, emsisoft) and they are not finding anything now, but all that changes the malware made, I'm more able to check updates.  I can't start the service wuauserv and it contains the following description .

  Also, I can't update 8.1 or use the windows store (even after reset several times).

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  For those who have a similar problem, I solved the problem by performing a 'Refresh', basically reinstalling system files while retaining my personal files (had to reinstall some software).  It took awhile, but once it was full, I could find and install updates but then does not open Windows Store.  I have fixed that by running the Tweaking.com all in a tool repair and limited to only running the "repair Windows 8 App Store (completely Reset App Store)" option.  It worked much better than the option wsreset.exe that I saw recommended before.

  I tried several reboots the computer.

  I tried to get into the services and manually stop and restart the service.  Nothing seems to work.

  I'm downloading the SP2 for Vista, let's see if that fixes the problem.

  My computer does not have install 2 updates several times over the past 3 months.

If anyone can suggest a solution, I would appreciate it.

  Hello

  Yes, you are right.

  Note: serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-the-registry ) how to back up and restore the registry in Windows)

  You can not uninstall IE8 on Windows 7, but you can disable access to it (for example, to disable IE8). Similarly, you cannot reinstall IE8 in Windows 7, but you can reactivate access to him (i.e., turn on IE8).

  If it's a Win7 64-bit computer, you have two versions of IE8: IE8 64 bit (the default) and IE8 32 bit. See this previous discussion: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/InternetExplorer/thread/babaa5f8-ff06-4ea2-aef6-a9416d65f981
