Solved Sirefef with 1 minute reboot

[KrisK]

Unfortunately, that didn't not work either. BITS is still not listed as a service either. I was sent this as a conversation from a third party, but I did not want to try it until you gave the okay.

I had same issue with this Sirefef reboot things, I also couldn't update neither Win nor MSE...

It actually comes from a service from which "windows Update" service depend on : BITS service!

You need to re-register but doing the following by copying and pasting the following in cmd:

sc create BITS binpath= "c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs" start= delayed-auto


You then either have to reboot your pc or go into Services (run: services.msc) and start the service BITS.

BITS is now re-registered in my Services. When I tried to update MSE's definitions through Windows Update it gave me a different error (8000FFFF). However, I then tried to update it through MSE itself and doing this worked correctly and updated MSE to the most recent definitions.

Try restarting the Windows Update service, try the Windows Update, and let me know what happens, please.

Restarted BITS and then successfully update to the newest MSE definitions using Windows Update. I think we are finally done repairing all of the problems. Thanks so much for all of your help!
