Hi,
My laptop has not been able to use the Windows Update Agent for quite a few months. But somehow I do get Windows update - I can see the updates in the directory --> Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Update\View update history.
When errors appear, I've tried to follow the so called help from the Microsoft websites from the links but nothing seems to resolve the errors. In fact it goes from one error message to the next error message. Luckily I've been led to your site to try your "Windows Repair" tool.
I've gone to the Pre-scan step and the following errors appear. I don't know how to fix the Windows Package Files or the Reparse Point so would you please help me? I've already run the Repair Reparse Points multiple times, but there is one error (ie "C:\ProgramData\Application Data" vs "C:\ProgramData") that just keeps coming back & refuses to be fixed!
Below is the last pre-scan log.
Thanks in advance!
