Hi, I think the one and only one solution to this problem is to reinstallation of the Windows 7. I had searched for many and more solutions regarding this when I encounter the same problem. But, can't able to find any particular solution about this. Then I made the reinstallation of the windows 7, and I am able to solve that particular error. Now, I have turn off my automatic updates, so that I don't get this error in future.

Hi, I think you are getting this error due to the incomplete installation of the updates I think. I have not get this error till yet. So, basically I don't know the exact behavior of the error. So, just try to do the repair of your operating system and it will solve your problem. I think. Or you can wait for the other reply which will solve your problem without repairing your Windows 7. So, if you have time then wait or if you need to work on the windows then just repair your system.
