Re: Damaged file prevents Windows Update to work
Sorry for delay!
My motherboard had a malfunction, and it took a time to replace it to a new one, as well as CPU and memory. SURT reported OK (just two fixes upon completion :smile9:).
After that, I have rebooted the computer and in the settings of Windows Update I have chosen: "Install updates automatically (recommended)" every day at 5:00 PM.
Windows Update is working, but there are a lot of updates that were not installed.
You will find the files, that I have uploaded, here:
Dropbox - CBS.zip
Dropbox - CbsPersist.zip
Dropbox - update history.zip
Moreover, I have another problem that may be binding with Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (Definition 1.259.1638.0). In the Event Viewer from System Control Manager, I see the Event 7023, reading: "The Windows Defender service terminated with the following error: Windows Defender is not a valid Win32 application".
When I run Windows Defender I see the message: "Server has stopped". When I click "Start now" I see "Service is starting..." and the program hangs for a while. At the end the Window pops-up, saying: "The operation returned because the timeout period expired (Error Code: 0x800705b4)". I have read an article about that at
