Error Code 8007307B

[Larrylowtech]

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

have you tried the system update readiness tool here https://support.microsoft.com/kb/957310

 

[Larrylowtech]

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

 

[KomputerKid]

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

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

Have you been using its file/registry cleaner/tuneup/optimizer feature?

---------------------------------------------------------

 

[Larrylowtech]

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

 

[Larrylowtech]

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

what update is giving you issues?

 

[Larrylowtech]

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

 

[valis]

what error do you get checking?
