Brand new Toshiba laptop pre installed with windows 8, Window update has never run successfully.

After several days looking at and trying existing community querys/solutions I am still stuck .

 

 -  sfc/scannow suggestion indicated no problems

  - I have tried the windows update trouble shooter .. it runs "fixes  2items"  however still get 8024a000

  - tried disabling AV  (mcafertee)

  - Lowered IE security to minimal / enabled pop ups & cookies.

  -  tried clean boot sugestions  disabling start-up items and services   .   still fails.

 -  Unwilling to run any so called registry cleanup options as not sure what is really happening with these and not

 confident they relate to windows 8.

 

All I really want to do is install my printer, however apparently the only way to get the relevant driver (according

 to Brother) is via windows a update  .. catch 22

 

Any further assistance/sugestions would be appreciated.
