Have tried all the previous advice for solving this problem. Unable to install updates in safe mode and in normal mode tells me update doesn't apply to this system.

Update has been failing for over 3 months now with Code 80070422.

Can anybody please help me.

Neither solution worked, the first said it had repaired but update still wouldn't work, I have tried the first many times. The seond told me:

Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service.
 
try running sfc from offline mode:

click start type cmd, right click and select run as administrator
type
sfc /SCANNOW /OFFBOOTDIR=c:\ /OFFWINDIR=c:\windows

any reason to think you have been infected with a rootkit?

Tried this and rebooted but still not working. Don't know what a rootkit is or why I might have it?
