Default Update errors

I had to reinstall every thing after trying Windows 10. I made it
through the 155+ updates to Windows 8, installed Windows 8.1,and most of
its updates.

The updates and it appears downloads from the Windows store is no longer
working.

I checked and see I am getting repeated occurrence is of this error.

Since I tried repeatedly to install the updates, I thought it could be
the problem. Can some one help'

"The server {4991D34B-80A1-4291-83B6-3328366B9097} did not register with
DCOM within the required timeout."


Your Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)
is not starting in time. DCOM is apparently part of
the trigger for contacting it or something. Googling
with BITS and that string of digits should show
you all sorts of examples.

BITS is used by Windows Update, so you could look
for a TroubleShooter for Windows Updates in the
Control Panels. If you were running an OS like
WinXP, you'd have to look for a Microsoft Fixit,
which is a Troubleshooter for the WinXP era.

You might also look for CBS.log, as that might
be used for logging. Not sure. I don't know if te
Windows Store keeps a separate log. The Windows
Store (on Win10), has "wsreset.exe" for fixing
Windows Store problems, and as far as I know,
all that it does is delete the contents of the
Windows Store cache.
