[SOLVED] Unable to update Windows Update itself and other problems.

I think I'll just skip it for the time being. If I have any other problems I'll be sure to visit this site again. Thanks again for all of your help, Brian. I really appreciate it.

[SOLVED] Unable to update Windows Update itself and other problems.

Okay, so after reformatting and doing 169 updates, everything seems to be working again as normal! Do you have any ideas on what could've caused my registry hive to have become so corrupted? I'd like to know what to avoid for future reference. Thanks so much for your help!

Yep. HP Recovery Manager shows up on the Start Screen when searched.

Okay, so I got around to backing up my personal files. I went to try to reset my computer, and I got a similar error as to when I tried to use the refresh option. Checking for solutions does nothing. I'm really at a loss now.

That's correct. I had Windows 8 installed from HP. I haven't tried resetting yet. Since Windows 8 came pre-installed, I'm assuming that I would not lose the Windows 8 OS upon resetting, correct? I understand that I'd lose everything else that didn't come pre-installed with the computer.

I don't as this laptop came installed with Windows 8. I'm guessing I'd have to buy one at this point?
