Manual reset of Windows update components
To reset Windows Update components, you need to use some high command prompt commands. To open it, you now need to press the Windows and X keys on the keyboard simultaneously. An options menu opens where you need to choose the command prompt (Admin).
Puede aparecer un mensaje de cuenta de Username si requiere presionar «Sí» para iniciar el mensaje alto. Una vez dentro, primero debe instalar el instalador de MSI, Windows Update Services y BITS. Ingrese los siguientes comandos y pulse la tecla Enter detrás de cada uno. Tenga cuidado al entrar pedidos, dado que los errores tipográficos o de ortografía pueden provocar errores en su sistema. Sea paciente además, dado que completarlo puede llevar algún tiempo.
net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
network stop bits
net stop msiserver
Once the services are completed, rename the Catroot2 and SoftwareDistribution folders.
This can be done directly from the message that appears by typing the following commands and pressing Enter after each one.
ren C: Windows System32 catroot2 Catroot2.old
ren C: Windows SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
Afterwards, you must restart the services that you stopped earlier to allow Windows Update to continue working. While still at the high prompt, type the following commands and remember to press the Enter key as usual after typing each one:
net start wuauserv
cryptSvc Network Home
network start bits
net start msiserver
When you're done, basically close the command prompt by clicking the X box in the top right corner.
