windows 80070246 error

[mrvalue]

hello,

i have been having this windows update error for about 3 months now (on windows 8.1) with no prevail at all, but i have stumbled upon this forum and hope you guys are the answer :)

I would be considered under a novice rank in the world of code, cmd, and the nitty gritty of how computers actually work. but i do know the error code 80079246 pops up as the reason windows didnt update, i ran the sfcfix and what came up was error 582. Any help is much appreciated


this was the finished sfcfix scan
