Registered on this site just to say thank you, the solution listed worked.
Aside from the services (there were problems starting them but this persisted after correcting the startup of the services), the registering of these DLLs resolved this issue.
Specifically:
1. Close all instances of Internet Explorer.
2. Click Start and Run, type "REGSVR32 ATL.DLL" (without quotes) in the open
box and click OK.
Note: There is a space between REGSVR32 and ATL.DLL
3. Similarly, one by one, register the files listed below:
REGSVR32 MSXML3.DLL
REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL
REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL
REGSVR32 WUAUENG1.DLL
REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL
REGSVR32 WUCLTUI.DLL
REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL
REGSVR32 WUWEB.DLL
REGSVR32 QMGR.DLL
REGSVR32 QMGRPRXY.DLL
REGSVR32 JSCRIPT.DLL
Note: Please try and register all the files. While registering each .DLL
file you should get a "succeeded" message. If you encounter any error
message, please let me know the exact wording.
FYI for the nublets, it takes a few seconds only if you use shortcuts
I copied "REGSVR32 " to my clipboard (CTRL+C) then used (Win+R), (CTRL+V) and then type the name press enter twice and move to the next one. Took about 15 seconds total.
