Number 5 on that list should do it. Just remember to delete the renamed folders once it's all working right.

well when i try to put it in it says that the name of the service isn't valid.

(it could be named in other way cuz my pc isn't in english so)

net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver

Try copy/pasting this plaintext instead, as a batch file. Run it as admin, of course. I didn't think the Windows language mattered with service names?

Boot to safe mode, and none of the services should be running - if they are, use the normal "sevices.msc" to stop them.

Then manually go and rename/delete those two folders. Reboot.

sorry it took so long but i forgot about this

so i tried to boot into the safe mode, but it said that it couldn't load the updates or something and that i should come back to the settings later.

so i still don't know where is the problem, and what to do about it.

boot into safe mode, then in the search bar (white bar on lower left hand corner of your screen) type 'cmd' Right click 'Command Prompt' to run as Administrator. Then, copy and paste each line below individually, pressing Enter afterwards:

 

net stop wuauserv

net stop cryptSvc

net stop bits

net stop msiserver

ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old

net start wuauserv

net start cryptSvc

net start bits

net start msiserver

That's weird...try clicking 'Start' and scroll down to Windows System (under 'W'), you should be able to find Command Prompt in there hopefully...

[truescot]

open a command prompt as administrator and type      sfc /scannow
