Open an Elevated Command Prompt.
Enter sfc /scannow and press Enter. Let it run to completion.
Try update again.

Hi,
did as instructed and scan was clean but still not able to update. The icon for Microsoft updates is a blank sheet of paper. Should I try updating through Microsoft download center after this scan too? I wasn't able to download from that site prior to your instructed scan though.

muweb.dll is not a part of the base Windows 7. You get it when you use Windows Update via IE. See here: Vista - missing file muweb.dll
Says Vista but applies to Windows 7 as well.
You can also check here: How do I reset Windows Update components?

Hi,
I went to the links you suggested. First I attempted to create a restore but it said the location could not be found. I attempted to restore with the guided version from the Microsoft site and manually. I think the manually restore save worked but I'm not sure. Below is the actual step by step reset updates instructions I followed (I omitted step 4 as suggested) and what I received in results in C: You will see some steps where successful and many where not for a couple of reason. These attempts to reregister (◦regsvr32.exe mshtml.dll,◦regsvr32.exe shdocvw.dll,◦regsvr32.exe browseui.dll and ◦regsvr32.exe qmgr.dll) resulted in the statement "The module was loaded but the entry point DLLRegister Server was not found. Made sure that the (insert command) is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again.
The following reregister attempts just failed (◦regsvr32.exe gpkcsp.dll,◦regsvr32.exe sccbase.dll,◦regsvr32.exe slbcsp.dll,◦regsvr32.exe initpki.dll, ◦regsvr32.exe wuaueng1.dll, ◦regsvr32.exe wucltui.dll, and ◦regsvr32.exe wuweb.dll).

I see several typos in what you posted which may be why some commands did not work correctly. Did you try the automated Fixit on the MS page?
Also give this a try: How to Reset Windows Update in Windows 7 and Vista.

I previously tried Fix it prior to contacting you and I attempted again just now and it does not fix the problem. Additionally the reset did not solve the problem either. The typo's were attempts to copy and paste into command and that didn't work because it added an additional character so those failed. I was pretty sure that I typed in the rest of the attempts and received the error message that I posted. So I guess we are back to square one. Any other suggestions?

So that is where I'm at. Computer is running fine (except for issue in Outlook where mouse pointer is constantly changing between pointer and round blue circle, I ran malware and virus and nothing reported) and the only way I discovered that Windows wasn't updating was when I attempted to install Turbo Tax it wouldn't because Windows wasn't update.
Sorry for all the diffculties but this really has me stumped.

Agree, it's a tough one. I wonder if you have the latest Windows Update Agent: How to obtain the latest version of the Windows Update Agent to help manage updates on a computer
This is beginning to sound like a permissions problem. This post is worth trying and may solve the problem. Please create a System Restore point first so you have the option of restoring to before you run the batch file:
Solving setup errors by using the SubInACL tool to repair file and registry permissions

The link you provided for the SubinACL tool is for a 32 system and he states right in the blog portion that it will probably not work with a 64 system and I can confirm that it does not as my system is 64. At this point I think I want to close this ticket and attempt another solution. We are getting nowhere. Thanks for your help.

When I try to update Windows in Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Update I receive the following error:Code 80070005 Windows update encountered an unknown error. A Google of that error code suggest permission issues.
So that is where I'm at. Computer is running fine (except for issue in Outlook where mouse pointer is constantly changing between pointer and round blue circle, I ran malware and virus and nothing reported) and the only way I discovered that Windows wasn't updating was when I attempted to install Turbo Tax it wouldn't because Windows wasn't update.

Okay, sorry I couldn't help you.
You can try a Repair Install (if you have a install disc) or use the recovery partition on the hard drive to restore to factory state. Backup your data first though.

I will attempt to help you further, my colleague Ztruker is, I must admit, far more experienced than I am, but if you are willing to accept my help, perhaps, it is just possible that a fresh look MAY achieve something.
I have closed the new topic you started, as whoever helps it is best that they have the information as to what has been done, here ready to hand without having to switch to the this topic from your new one.
1. I do have a suggestion for you to try - before I proceed on THIS topic
How did YOU progress on this PLEASE
http://www.geekstogo...__fromsearch__1
where your last post was
2. Please clarify this
Start (Windows button)
right click computer
click properties
in left hand pane click system protection
On the window that opens click the CREATE button and proceed to CREATE name it so that you will immediately recognise it.- does it report success please.
IS THIS to what you refer when you say (location could not be found) in your quote above
OR does that create a restore point.
Go back to the System Protection window
Click on the button
SYSTEM RESTORE
NOTE - please do not proceed to restore, but when the new window opens and you click NEXT is there a restore point listed AND is the one you created LISTED
AND if you click the small box - show other restore points are there OTHERS listed.
Whilst in the system protection window please verify for me that system restore IS turned on, for the C Drive.
NOTE
I am in the Uk and signing off. I will be back online about 1800 UK time.

The post for October should be closed. That was a different computer that ended up having to be reformatted.

Thank you.
We do not as such close threads on GeekstoGo, they just naturally expire over time, but an update on the actual thread, as you mentioned
Please post the results of my suggestion on this matter and then we can proceed
