Unusual corruption of Windows Update services on 2 unrelatedcomputers after an update.

Hi All!

 

I have been investigating a problem that made Vista complain of

Multiple Security issues. It told me that Windows Updates were not

activated (they were but got switched off by someting). On trying to

click FIX I get a message that "Security Cener can't change your

automatic updaing settings".

When I tried going into updates manually I get a partially loaded

Update Window dialogue.

No error codes are given.

 

As I was checking that problem I run Windows Update on a laptop at the

same location and when it had finished restarting a message came up

sayting that there are multiple security issues. When I looked at what

that was I got the same problem as I was looking at on the first

computer. It just has to be one of the updates that screwed it up. I

don't know how or why but I wonder if anyone has see this before and

knows how to fix it.

 

I tried the regsrv32 fixes plastered over the web but they did not

work. What I did notice however is that there some of the DLLs did not

register as they were missing. I run the SFC /SCANNOW and it found

some issues and said to have fixed them but still Updates wouldn't

work and DLLs would not appear.
