windows update always wants to restart my computer

[AWS]

Hi Guru's,

Been running Win7 Enterprise x64/SP1 (clean RAID1 install) for over a year now but around start of March 2013, the optional Platform Update for Windows 7 x64-Edition (KB2670838) seems to have screwed up my Windows Update (error Code 80070BC9 & I have confirmed

this update has not actually been installed). Although I have hidden this update & Microsoft Essentials itself updates without any issues & FULL scan finds no issues, I am no longer able to get any automatic updates.

Even after using the MS 'Fix It' utility which seems to detect & repair problems and following the instructions provided in the "Ren %systemroot%system32catroot2 *.bak[/b] -> no permissions were allowed to rename file even after I changed its owner R/W properties

2. When I tried to Reregister the following BITS and Windows Update files, I got the following popup error message:-> module "xxxxxx.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DIIRregisterServer was not found. Make sure that "xxxxx.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again.where xxxxx was mshtml, shdocvw, browseui, msxml, gpkcsp, sccbase, slbcsp, initpki, wuaueng1, wucltui, wuweb, qmgr and muweb

3. C:WindowsSystem32>netsh reset winsockThe following command was not found: reset winsock.

 

So I'm not sure if these commands are out of date or I have some other sinister issues with my registery as this might explain why I am unable to reset my Windows Update components?

 

Anyway, as I've said before any advice or if I've missed anything would be of great help as I'll stumped on this one!

 

Cheers,

Frank.
