I have a Gateway desktop, 64-bit with 4 G's of RAM memory. I am running Windows 8 and my computer was wiped clean and put back to a factory restore about 2 months ago. It has been running fine up until 2 days ago I started getting a pop-up on the screen about checking for updates. When I close the pop-up it keeps coming back about every 30 seconds. I have tried checking for updates but the program just keeps running and running and does nothing. I have ran the Update Troubleshooter and this is what comes up:
Troubleshooting Issues Found:
Potential Windows Update Database error detected - Error Code 0x80073712 - Repair Windows Update Database corruption.
Windows Update Components must be repaired - One or more Windows Update components are configured incorrectly - Must be repaired.
Potential Issues that were checked:
Default Windows Update data locations have changed - The location where Windows Update stores data has changed and must be repaired.
I understand kinda what these mean. the problem is I don't know how to fix these issues. I hope someone can help me to fix my computer update problem.
