Hi I am trying (without much success!!) to fix issues created by installing WIndows 10 on my computer. The advice was to stop and remove the BITS, Cryptography and MSI Installer and then update them but its not working. Everytime I put in: net stop wuauser (enter) it tells me the help menu has not started and to put in: NET HELPMSG 3521. But that doesn't start anything either!! It is getting sooooooo frustrating! Word is not working, neither is Outlook or my pictures, I might as well have NO computer. Windows 10 should be working OK by now and should NOT cause all these issues. Please tell me what to do to FIX these issues. My 'update and Help' linked to programs for updates are not available so I am working in the dark and need HELP and need it NOW. PLEEZZE!!
