If anything throws Windows Update errors, check into Software Center. Use ccmrepair.exe to repair SCCM, if necessary.

If the issue you're running into is not solved after running the above command, and rebooting, then do the following:

  • In admin Command Prompt, run sc stop wuauserv. DO NOT CLOSE THIS WINDOW.
  • Open Registry Editor.
  • Traverse down the folder tree to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
  • Open DisableWindowsUpdateAccess, and set the value to 0.
  • In the WindowsUpdate folder on the left side, open the AU folder.
  • Open UsesWUServer, and set the value to 0. DO NOT CLOSE THIS WINDOW.
  • Go back to the admin Command Prompt, and run sc start wuauserv.

Now, do whatever you need to do (install drivers, supplemental fonts, etc).

Once that is done, stop wuauserv again, change the above values back to 1, and start wuauserv again.
