win 7 can't update to anything, SP1 included, or update virus definitions for MSE

I have tried using windows update.
Sadly, no cigar. SP1 gave an error 80073701.
Malware gave 800B0109.
So did MSE.
 
right. But SP1 should, right? And wasn't there a way to update the certificates?
 
Nope. They are set to expire on the day Windows 7 reaches EOL and if these have not been done prior to that date, you cannot update them.

The SP1 has the same issue + OS corruption, which makes it seem like there is something else in play, when in fact there is not.

In order to fully fix this, I'd recommend upgrading to Windows 10.
 
I've just tried to update virus definitions through MSE: failure because 0x80240022.
I can't believe they broke it so bad that you can't keep it safe. This is a second-hand computer, updates never did work since I have it, I thought I'd try and fix it. Do you think an upgrade will even work? With this much dysfunctionality, I'm starting to think it can't be saved and I will will have to setup the whole thing anew.

In any case, many thanks for trying. Too bad it didn't work out.
 
we did? What did we do? :)

I have to look into an upgrade. It would have to be over USB, this thing has no dvd drive.
