Yesterday (06/24/2014) Microsoft issued an update for windows update, which they said was required in order to receive new updates. It installed without any problems,except it doesn't work. [IMAGE] I tried the fixit tool but that doesn't find any errors. To make matters worse, it appears that windows update installed a different version of the update agent than is appropriate for my system (Windows 7 Home Premium). Windows support websie for this update says the correct version is Windows update agent 7.6.7600.256, but windows update installed version 7.6.7600.320, and you can see the result from the image as to what happens when I try to check for updates. I would prefer not to do a system restore, but how do I fix this?  Is this this the same issue corrected / posted by LoginBroken on Feb 23 2011?
