go to start and type this

services.msc

Now check for '' windows updates service ''

Right click on the service and start.

If you get error again run this fixit on your PC

let us know if update works now

ok,run the microsoft fixit again

Make sure to check mark '' RUN IN AGGRESSIVE MODE '' option and run it

Restart the PC and check if both windows update and BITS service is started

If you still face the same issue go to windows update in control panel,launch it and mention the actual error code that gets displayed.

wow i just found out the problem best buy replaced my hard drive and installed a smaller one which is a fail with restoring and backing up with sysytem image so i have to take it back to the store to be sent out for a new drive because most stores only carry 500 gb n mine was 640
