Windows 8 update error 80070246

[PmpknMr08]

My windows update has been having problems updating. I am running windows 8 64bit on my laptop and I have been getting error 80070246 when trying to check for updates. I have done an sfc scan but have gotten the message "windows resource protection could not perform the requested action". I have also tried sfcfix but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• A file called cbs.txt will have appeared on your Desktop. Upload the file on Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive and post the download URL for it here;

Note: Please note that the CBS.log is volatile, which means that if you don't upload it after the SFC scan is completed, it won't contains the information from the scan anymore. So archive it and upload it as soon as you can.
