My fault module name is searchprotection.exe how do I fix it? Windows updates will not work.

[AWS]

Windows couldn't check for updates automatically, not since December 2012. Am afraid to do the clean boot for fear of losing any system restore point. When check for windows update it gives me the dreaded 800F080D. Automatic updates are turned on.

 

I have heard of the dll addresses being messed up, that may be my case, not sure. You can't call anyone to walk you through anything anymore... sort of scared to do it myself.

 

I ran the sfc/scannow didn't find anything wrong. Ran a Microsoft Fixit and it couldn't find anything.

 

I ran something else (can't remember what) and it said:
