I downloaded the driver from the site you suggested but, while installing, found that newer version of driver is already existing in my system. So no new driver is needed.Hi again
Thank you for your detailed answers. (Very nice)
Intel 945G drivers
For the Intel 945G graphics driver, I was surprised to find that late November 2013 is going to be the most recent 64-bit driver available. You can download the driver directly from Intel. Here's the link:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/do...or-Driver-for-Windows-7-64-exe-?product=81526
The driver says that it's for 64-bit Windows 7 - since there aren't any others to be found on the Intel site, it looks like that is the most recent.
Try not to download drivers from any sites other than your computer manufacturer's site, the device manufacturer's site, or Microsoft. Most of the download sites have "tag along" downloads or "driver utilities" that are going to do more harm than good. The most recent Intel driver on the site you mentioned was for 2009 (the original date for the first version). Ugh.
We'll hope that the slightly-newer driver will reduce the graphics driver errors in EventViewer (& help with overall performance & stability).
Uninstallers
It looks like the "Registry Backup and Restore" module from AceLogix might have arrived either on its own, or as part of "Ace Utilities" ... since you have downloaded some third-party utilities: if the utilities came from generic download sites, you might have acquired more than expected (some sites add their own extra "tag-alongs" to the download). See if you can find Ace Utilities or any entries showing AceLogix in Control Panel's "Programs and Features" - you can uninstall it from there. When we're done with the troubleshooting, if you'd like you can re-run the SysNative info collector, and hopefully the info will have improved quite a lot. [.... P.S. the Ace module "Registry Backup and Restore" has the same name as a module in a different collection of utilities - from a different vendor - called "Registrar Registry Manager" ....]
Windows Update & Windows Defender
The error you saw for Windows Update that mentions Windows Defender usually happens when Defender has already started to download and install the latest updates. It's usually not a real problem (since the update finishes, and works). But Windows Defender probably shouldn't need to run on your computer, since you have Norton Security. I'm surprised the Norton Security didn't disable Windows Defender when Norton was installing the first time. Norton is a very "strict dude" - it scans everything for everything: so Windows Defender is redundant - and can cause system performance issues when both Windows Defender and Norton are trying to scan the same thing at the same time. You can turn off Windows Defender's "real-time protection" permanently, since you have Windows 10 Pro, by using Group Policy Editor. Here's how:
1) Click or tap on the Windows 10 Start Menu icon
2) Type gpedit.msc and press Enter on your keyboard.
3) If prompted, select Allow.
4) Navigate through the menus = Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Defender.
5) In the Windows Defender section, you should find the policy Turn off Windows Defender --- double-click on that.
6) In the window that opens, set the state of the policy to Enabled.
7) Click OK to exit.
Since Norton Security monitors your system for all sorts of changes, you should be better off without Defender getting in the way. If you ever need to re-enable Windows Defender (for example, if you stop using Norton for some reason) simply revisit Group Policy Editor's Windows Defender section, and set the "policy state" to disabled or not configured. That will restore Windows Defender to its default configuration.
Diagnostics
Very glad to hear that the hard drive tested well. If you need a good source for MemTest86+, it is included on the free bootable utility CD called the "UBCD" ("ultimate boot CD") ... I've used these CDs for years and years: so long as you download them directly from Ultimate Boot CD - Overview --- it should be malware-free and "tag-along" free --- [Never pay for a UBCD: it is open-source, so if any site charges for it - they are violating the open-source license (and are likely a dodgy site if so).]

Current Status
Since the DISM and SFC /scannow file system commands completed successfully --- that's good news. The fact that Windows Updates completed successfully is also good news. Do the Mail and Calendar apps open successfully yet?
If not, the procedure I posted a link to in post #10 of this thread might work this time (since you've cleaned up much of the component files). That link takes you to a thewindowsclub.com guide to reinstalling only the Windows Communications apps (Mail, People, Calendar).
I'm hoping that most all other apps and programs are now working OK?
.... I'll stay tuned.
Removed RRR of Aceogix
Removed Windows Defender with the steps you suggested
Reinstallation of only windows Communication apps didn't work. On typing the command through powershell nothing takes place and original line reappears.
