EASY & FAST FIX that I found on internet after 2 days of searching.
Click on:
Control Panel
System & Security
Windows Update
Change settings
Go to 3rd option "Give me updates for Microsoft products and check for new optional Microsoft software when I update Windows" and uncheck this option.
Click OK and close the Windows Update window then reopen & the error should be gone & Windows should be able to update as before. Mine was back to normal right away.
This solved the Windows Update problem on one computer, but not on the other running the same version (Win 7 Pro, SP1). The second computer didn't have the option to update other Microsoft programs, so I couldn't turn it off. It's still not updating.
On the first computer, it seems to be updating again, but I really need to have the other Microsoft programs updated. How do I get this back on? The option to enable this has disappeared!
When I unchecked option 3 it disappeared so I think you 2nd computer probably already had that unchecked, but I'm not sure.
I hope someone else can help you with the 2nd computer as that's all the information I have. (Glad to hear one computer is back working OK again though)
