No I didn't load firewall yet. I wanted to get the updates then lock it down. Yes, I tried both Start,Control Panel,System,Auto update,(Web link).

Hi,

1. Download Dial-a-Fix archive file here.
2. Extract contents to suitable place (e.g. your desktop) and navigate to that location.
3. Double-click Dial-a-Fix.exe file to execute the program.
4. Checkmark "Fix Windows Update" -checkbox. It's possible that the program checks some options automatically after that. Leave those untouched and click "GO" -button.

When tool has finished, reboot and see if you're able to access Windows Update.

Well Blade my pc is back to point and click. Dial-a-fix repaired my last two issues. Later today I will load an av and firewall. I’m also going to ghost an image to a usb drive then disconnect it from the pc. Just in case a family member comes across some misguided individuals, waste of talents, handy work.

If you have any other recommendations please let me know.
