Did not know that.

The presence of this key, was supposed to indicate all is well.

Key="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"Subkey="SOFTWARE\Microsoft \Windows\CurrentVersion\QualityCompat"
"cadca5fe-87d3-4b96-b7fb-a231484277cc" DWORD 0


I checked and that key is present, but I'm not getting any updates
through Windows Update. I've been trying for a couple of days.

I have W7 HP x64 SP1 installed with Avast Free Antivirus 17.9.2322.
Also, I don't have an Intel CPU, I have this one: AMD A8-3870K.
