Download Repair.bat
This utility is to correct corruption on the Windows Update database. There is two methods to get this utility, you can download the batch file I created, or you can manually create it yourself. Both do the exact same thing. This may work for other operating systems besides Windows 8 but I haven't tested it on other operating systems.
Thanks goes to John Rubdy for this information. You can see the information on answers.microsoft.com (I have it posted here to prevent broken link to an outside website ) For my reasons for posting the content here and also provide the link, click here.
The download version runs additional utilities than the manual listed here does.
