    Hi mshah, Welcome to Windowsbbs! :)

    If installing the latest version of Windows Script doesn't work then try this click Start< Run and type the following command regsvr32 /u msctf.dll and hit enter.

    Reboot the computer. Can you access Windows Update properly now? If not then I would suspect a malware infection is present on the labtop which is prohibiting you from accessing Windows Update.

    If that is the case then please read this and post the required logs in the Malware and Virus Removal Forum.

    Also please enter your System Details. It helps us in answering your questions.

    Note: A common error is to forget to show your System Details in your profile:

    Make sure to do the above when entering your System Details, thanks.
