Windows 7 Update

[jl1216]

OS Windows 7 PRO
Problems: Cannot get windows update working, I do not have OS CD, update.inf file is missing

What I've tried almost everything
System restore
Tweaking tool to exact recommendations with options included, 4 times.
CMD commands, resets scan disk, disk chk etc.
Windows update agent
antivirus& malware virus scans
Internet explorer settings add Microsoft update to allowed programs all 4 sites included ,unchecked requires server authentication , changed to medium security level. system restore
temp file removed etc.etc.etc.
Changed to google dns settings

I feel it may be the udate.inf driver-file that is missing just not able to reinstall or do a repair on windows without os cd

Thank You for any help you can offer

Hmmm okay what exact windows update error are you getting it should give you an error code when it fails and then I can go from there.

Hi Julian,
Sorry I missed the windows update code
it is 80244022
Also I forgot to list the following boot error when I start up in safe mode the following error shows
My MBR is corrupted and unreadable and cannot boot from, so It has a second boot sector it uses.
I ran a boot time scan with Avast and got the following report.

Would a bootrec /fixmbr help that, Julian ?

There is a bug in WU in Win7Pro that i discovered after I cloned my failing hd over to a s4sd.

Fortunately, such issues are a "no charge" issue that Microsoft Customer Service can help you with.  But before asking for personal help via chat, you should try some of the self help methodologies provided at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us

Afterwards, if none of the help proves helpful, the same self help gui will initialize a chat session with a live person.

Remember, that "installations" and "Updates" are no charge.  So be sure you document the service id they will provide you.
