Reset Windows Update Agent

The script/app does not work with regards to resetting windows update. It tries to close appidsvc service but just about anything will restart it again. You cannot disable this service either. 

Hi Olli,

Hi Kari,

You can find a copy of this script at https://github.com/ManuelGil/Script-Reset-Windows-Update-Tool

Has this tool been changed? It used to open up a DOS window with different troubleshooting options.

Nevermind. Answered my own question. You have to run ResetWUEng.cmd file as an Administrator.

Can you help me? It says run as administrator, and I have all permissions and administrator status, but it still will not let me run the program?

Please see the following link:
https://github.com/ManuelGil/Reset-Windows-Update-Tool/wiki/Usage

When I running the command 
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
I am getting the Error: 87
I am unable to update the Windows 10.
It is writing your device is missing important security and quality fixes.
Please help.

I get (got) Error:87 and the command was not executed because I failed to put a "Space" in front of any and all forward slashes /. 

TKDas, this error has two sources: the first one is a typing error and the second is serious damage to the operating system.

I recommend you make a backup and try an inplace installation to repair your operating system.

I cannot upload windows updates.  The virtual agent sent instructions to scan and run ResetWUEng file.
Scan completed successfully but when running reset tool, I received a warning message that Windows was not responsible for damage to my PC.
Is this tool safe to run?

You are awesome, man! :)

Thanks EQuito!

Thank you very much for your kind favor.

Had problems updating Win10.  As part of the "Get Help" from the Automated Agent, eventually I got to this from the Agent: 
"Download the Windows Update Reset Tool
Click here to download the Windows Update Reset Tool.
After it downloads, open the .zip file, and run the ResetWUEng file."


You recommended downloading the file wureset11008_setup_winx64.exe.  But that is not a zip file that the Agent said to download.  So which file should be downloaded?

Hi Ali,

The executable version of this tool has some additional options that are not found in the script version.

You can use the script version if you only want to reset the windows update components

Why are there two buttons to click on?

Hey, Manuel,
This follows on the answers at this thread:

The issue is WU can't find IE11. Here's the log from the script:

IE11, where art thou?
Thanks for reading!

Hi LaurieSt,

I'm sorry for being late.

I have been reviewing your case, however I notice that you are trying to install an update that is not suitable for your operating system since it seems to be an update for a 64-bit version of Windows 7.

I would like more information about it.

I remain attentive to your comments.

Hi Gil! Thanks for coming back. Yeah, on a different rig now, and the urgency to "upgrade" IE32 to IE64 has passed. For some reason or other, the system did not want to install IE64 regardless of where it came from, or what it was for. But what we do know is MS have sized it up for the bit bucket in favour of their other offering.
As a matter of interest, the only reason for wanting it was to run an old 64 bit Java program. https://github.com/philjord/ElderScrollsExplorer/issues/2
