Hi Dear Robinson,

I am terribly sorry for my late answer, but my "service" (hospital) period has lasted too long due to difficulties. There happened two times "blue death" with me, they had to two times "Restart" on me. Yesterday was the "amnesty" from hospital saying "That's all, nothing more steps..." (F... off)

At first I would like to thanking again Your fast, detailed help! YOU ARE GREAT!

Yesterday evening I've tried the commands in Your description. The first part seemed successful - the system answered: "repairable" and I followed next line. After it the Update downloaded a Defender's Security Intelligence and a Cumulative NET .... and gave up working, no more updates.

This afternoon I tried to use the second part of Your answer to "Reset W. Update", neither the "net stop wuauserv", nor "net stop cryptSvc" command lines has worked. I don't know what sh...t system I have and I thought that till I live, this bullsh..t would work somehow.... (Hm..., Who would "won" the race? F....off!)

Thank You very much again Your fast and GREAT help! I am very grateful for You!

Finally I would like to wish You and Your whole Family many success, glad days, love and happyness and beyond all EXCELLENT HEALTHINESS for every day in the year, every year!!!

Friendly greetings,

Laszlo PENZ
