I just thought things would go faster if we are both online at the same time, but ok.
also, sorry for the great delay, again.
Turns out a message appeared:
"Windows update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer."
So i did restart my PC, and till that message appears
At this point, i thought stopping and starting the service may work, but somehow still not sure if it will work. So i search how i can fix this, which leads me to this website:
Windows Update Cannot Currently Check For Updates [SOLVED] - Driver Easy
I followed method 1 and 3 and it didn't work. I did method 4, which is to delete the "Software Distribution" folder. But since i don't like deleting windows file stuff for it may cause problems that i cant reverse, i just move it somewhere else outside the windows directory. And the windows update works now!
Ironically, i got curious if this is the reason why the SURT didn't work, so i ran that too, and it now works!
Then i check the SURT log file. seeing the details (though i cant understand most of it) i feel like things go back to square one, since its the avast problem again. All i did while i were gone was updating my drivers with drivereasy, and update avast's main application again. (ver.19.6.2383 - build 19.6.4546.494)
here's the log file.
Update: Just tried updating a driver first, since that caught my attention quickly. it works fine and asks for restart, but after the restart the error message in the very beginning appears again, so i did the moving of SoftwareDistribution folder somewhere else again. I think what i have done is just a temporary fix isn't it? (or maybe not a fix at all isn't it?) and oh i check the installed updates section, and the driver update is not seen in the list, so i guess it didn't work at all.
I tried back the SP1 Update (i wish i can just replace this computer since the graphics driver is really outdated by time, but i cant generate money yet so i guess we will continue in the fixing), and says "The updates were successfully installed" but with an error code 80010108. (seems the update gets confused with what i have done...)
Did a restart, and found out that it did not installed. so i tried it again, but this time it failed with error 80246005. Another retry and the downloading of the update stucks at 28% for a long time, and still i'm surfing fine in internet, so i thought it's still the windows update problem.
Tried the SURT again just to have a recent report.
