Laura,
OK. Let's try something a little different. If you RIGHT click on the Microsoft Start button you should see the option "Windows PowerShell (Admin)" in the popup window. LEFT click on this option. A window called "Administrator: Windows Powershell" should
open up. It should look like a Command Prompt window because they are almost the same.
The commands you enter into the Powershell window need one small modification to work. For example:
SC.EXE CONFIG BITS START=AUTO
As you probably noticed, the only difference is entering SC.EXE instead of SC. So, go ahead and type this command. If you get the response "SUCCESS" repeat this command for the other 3 services CRYPTSVC, WUAUSERV and TRUSTEDINSTALLER.
This change is what finally worked for me. I have seen quite a few people say it worked for them. I've also seen a number that said it didn't help.
Let me know how it goes.
MDH_999
I was able to get to administrator PowerShell and input all the SC prompts. I was excited because it was updating for a long time so I thought all was ok. When I went to the Windows update settings it still shows that KB4088776 failed. So i ran the trouble
shooter and the message said it was not able to repair windows update database corruption. At lease I was able to open the administrator PowerShell.
Thank you so much for that. Now If I can just figure out how to get this update to install so my computer does not keep restarting to try to run this update.
Thank You again,
Laura
