Hi!
I know this is unfortunate for a first post but I'm really out of ideas about this and if someone could help me get the Windows 7 Update working again and not to do a clean install, it would be just amazing...
So it's Win 7 x64 Ultimate with SP1, updates are set to manual checking, never had this problem before... queued something like 15-20 updates (including IE10 which I removed later, so it's back to IE9) and some updates downloaded, most failed, what did download, installed successfully. But the update isn't working anymore. I found out that if I go to Microsoft Download Center, search for the exact KB number, download and install, every update that way was successfull (because I had around 10 important updates left so downloaded one by one from MS center). Left on purpose some important updates and selected also some small optional, tried through Win Update to download all of them, try one by one individually, no matter what download will always stop at 45% for any update and fail. Error is always 8020002E. After a lot of search through everywhere, got it was the net connection error unfortunately but since it happened, Win Update will repeat this scenario every time (45% and error). My connection isn't all that great, but this is the first time ever the WU just won't work after partial successful update. Browsers (IE, Firefox) use the net fine, other 3rd party programs too, but only WU behaves like described.
Tried some stuff fixit couple of times, even windows all-in-one repair from tweaking.com. All is the same. Even if fixit reported that it solved update problems, when you go to try WU again, everything's the same.
Tried chkdsk, HDD seems fine, 0 bytes of bad sectors. However sfc /scannow did say it found some errors that it could not fix. (if some dll is the problem, I could extract from Win 7 installation disc just not to reinstall whole Win again)
So all I can do is to give that CBS.log, two of them if that helps...
First one after running 'windowsupdate.diagcab' which btw said it found and fixed wu update error 0x80070057 but no change (WU goes back to 45% and 8020002E).
As for log after fixit, I can't get Fixit (MicrosoftFixit.wu.LB.37298931090425011.3.1.Run.exe) to work, loads up & all but it says 'The troubleshooter has experienced an unexpected error and cannot continue'
After running sfc /scannow, it's the log no. 2.
I'm ready to edit registry, anything (because who knows what's missing/corrupted) just to avoid clean (even repair) install too. ...because Win7 works just fine, before all this but even after this, except the WU. (again it does work if I dl kb's from MS site and do a manual install but I can't imagine I'll be doing that way for long)
Thank you kindly for any, really any help.
