    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    sfc /scannow

    ====================

    open Notepad.

    Paste the following text into Notepad:

    @ECHO OFF

    echo Simple Script to Reset / Clear Windows Update

    echo.

    PAUSE

    echo.

    attrib -h -r -s %windir%system32catroot2

    attrib -h -r -s %windir%system32catroot2*.*

    net stop wuauserv

    net stop CryptSvc

    net stop BITS

    ren %windir%system32catroot2 catroot2.old

    ren %windir%SoftwareDistribution sold.old

    ren "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader" downloader.old

    net Start BITS
