I ran some updates, as my computer prompted me to do, and now I get the error when trying to check for updates

Files required to use Microsoft Update are no longer registered or installed on your computer

Any idea's?

Your problem can be corrected by re-registering the various dll files that Windows Update requires to run.

To do this click on the “Start” button then “Run” and enter the following command into the “Run” dialog box

(be sure to press the Enter key on your keyboard after each entry)

regsvr32 wuapi.dll

You should then receive a message to say it was successful. The above process then needs to be done for each of the following commands:

regsvr32 wups.dll


regsvr32 wuaueng.dll


regsvr32 wucltui.dll


regsvr32 atl.dll


regsvr32 msxml3.dll

Afterward, please restart your computer.
