Windows 10: [HELP] Windows Security not opening and Windows 10 not updating (error: 0x8008005)

A little background information.

I had a file that was trying to gain access through my firewall, "winrmsrv" I denied it's access and deleted the files from my computer. In the process of deleting that file I read that I was to go to SoftwareDistribution and delete some folders from there. Now I am unable to start or stop the "wuauserv", I cannot find the Windows Update file in services.msc.

In addition to this, I cannot run Windows Update because everytime I do it takes a very long time to check for updates and when it does it returns with error: 0x8008005. I cannot open Windows Security it just does not open. The Windows Update troubleshooter does not work. I do not have any third-party anti-virus software on my laptop (for any reference if needed).

I have tried to reset the folders in SoftwareDistribution but it doesn't seem to work still and I have deleted the folders from SoftwareDistribution. I have tried several fixes but none seem to work, I really need your help on this.

If you need any more info please let me know. (Moderators, I apologize if I am breaking any rules).

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
