Problem with windows update. Need some help

[mfahadwaqar_20]

This keeps popping up whenever I turn on my Laptop. I found out that this is a windows update related problem. I have tried troubleshooting and all the other methods listed on the microsoft website. The troubleshooter fixed the issue with the corrupted files and the latest updates have been installed. But this window still popped backed when I restarted my device. Anyone have any ideas.

No that's not Windows update related. Probably some malware or 3rd party application.

Check entries in Startup and Task Scheduler.

Can you please elaborate on that. I don't know what to do about this.

it's just saying the file is not found, if you dont have problems with the laptop, just ignore it.

Startup
1. Open Task Manager

2. Go to Startup tab

3. Right click on the column and enable Command Line

4. Then check the command line in each Startup entries and disable Run.vbs or you can take screenshot and share it here. 

 

Task Scheduler

1. Search for Task Scheduler in Start Menu and run it.

2. Find any suspicious entry there and disable it or take screenshot and share it here.

One more place to check.

1. Type msconfig or System Configuration in start menu. 

2. Go to Services tab

3. Tick Hide all Microsoft services.

4. Find suspicious entry or share screenshot here.

Can you scroll down more and find an entry name Window Update?  

If yes, delete it.

Yes, I found that entry and deleted it.

Should I restart now?
