Error Code 8007307B

I'm trying to install Windows Updates and the automatic update seems to have stopped working.

When I try to check for updates it says I need the Windows Update Installer Tool.
I have downloaded this several times but always get the above error code.

I also ran the Windows Troubleshooter.
It found and fixed several problems but not this one

There seems to have been only a couple threads previously.
I tried their recommendations but that didn't fix the problem.

One looked promising until they said they'd fix the issues for $70.

I an using AVG Free antivirus on that computer.
Would that have anything to do with this?

Thank you, as always

 

Yes, I did. Several times, actually
Thank you

 

This might help Larry,
Please run "Fix it" tool to reset your Windows update components.

I think I tried that but will try again.

Tried to run the sfc /scannow tool but it needs to be run as an admin.
I thought I was an admin.
It's my wife's computer

This was part of the solution offered above

 

When you get to the command prompt, right click and click run as administrator. Glad to see you got it running.

 

Not with AVG.
I do run ccleaner.

I may havemisspoke, btw, in my reply to dvk01.

I ran a different tool from Microsoft.
Down loading the system update readiness tool now.
Thought I did before but this one seems to be taking a long time to dl and the other times pretty quick

 

System Update Readiness Tool did not work.
Still getting the same error code

 

I can't check for or get Windows updates.

The machine was set up for automatic updates but, somehow, that stopped working.

Nothing in the settings changed
