Hi I just brought an Asus s200e and it came with Windows 8.Im having problems running Windows update on it

I ran a WIndows update tool and these are the results


Error 80070002
Windows UPdate components must be repaired
Problem with Background Transfer Service




.Straight out of the box I uninstalled McAfee Internet Security oping for Windows Defender.Whenever I run Windows update its stuck at 0% I tried numerous solutions I tried runnning Fixit but it didnt support Windows 8.I ran WindowsUpdateDiagnostic that
semi fixed it.As in it was able to install updates after that but as soon as i restarted there were more updates to be installed and once again the updates were stuck at 0%.I also tried stopping the Windows Update Service and deleting C:WindowsSoftwareDistribution folder.There
was a solution saying to" right click on command prompt in the list, run as administrator, then type: net stop “windows update” I tried doing this on Windows 8 and it came with a cmd saying the Syntax of this command is NET STOPI tried a couple of other commands i saw in other peoples solutions but it did not work in Windows 8
On top of that I restored my laptop to factory settings removing all files and restoring default windows files Numerous times and this also did not work.
Sorry about the long question Ive tried all the solutions I could find but havent been successful in getting the updates to download

I hope someone knowlegdable could assist me in fixing this otherwise since my laptop is new i should ask to exchange it ?
Thanks In advance !


Update for fixing "Windows Update components must be repaired" I tried

C:Windowssystem32&gtDISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth'

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 6.2.9200.16384

Image Version: 6.2.9200.16384


Error: 87

The restorehealth' option is not recognized in this context.
For more information, refer to the help.

The DISM log file can be found at C:WindowsLogsDISMdism.log

C:Windowssystem32&gtDISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 6.2.9200.16384

Image Version: 6.2.9200.16384

FAIL
