Windows Update does not work. I get "Error 0x80246008".

 

HP update does not work. I get message "access denied".

 

----------------------------

 

I followed instructions on the error window that explains how to remedy the problem.

 

I ran Fix It several times. The message said "Windows Update components must be repaired", but does not tell me how.

 

Found how to verify Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) but COULD NOT find it on my computer.

 

I renamed the windows update download folder.

 

I have logged in as administrator.

 

None of these have worked.

 

The only changes that have been made on my computer is to uninstall and reinstall JAVA after the security alert and an update on PDF Adobe files.

Everything else seems to be functioning.

 

I have worked on this for over 8 hours now and am more confused than ever.

Does anyone have any suggestions, PLEASE?
