    windows 10 will no longer update and windows defender is gone


    I am getting the 0x80080005 error after correcting the 0x80070057 one

    I have gone through several methods to correct this issue including using DISM and SFC but the system is reporting that the Windef and wuauserv are both missing so they cannot be started.

    I have not messed with the registry or services in years BUT I did upgrade to the newest version of Windows recently
    everything was working great until yesterday when I noticed it was giving the update error and the system got really slow and laggy (sound distorted) for a few seconds while randomly watching YouTube

    I tried a bunch of different methods but everything says the system is fine. The next step is a Windows repair but it is saying I cannot keep my files and settings because I am using too old a version of Windows? I have my system back up on a USB stick BUT it is using this current version of Windows and I'm afraid I am going to run into the same problem with a new install.

    any help will greatly be appreciated

    Windows 10 Anniversary Update Issues

    Problems with W10 Anniv auto update:

    Mom's: (x58 Xeon 5677) Windows Defender was not turned back on automatically (it was "on" in the 1511 edition) and she had a Trojan. Full system scan to eradicate.
    Her Epson printer was knocked off, had to uninstall by Device Manager pull USB cable and reconnect cable. W10 did the rest.

    Step-mom's: (HP pre built) Windows Defender not turned back on by default. Her USB Seagate Expansion Drive 2Tb was offline so all backup routines were halted. Had to rerun backup plan. Had her do a full virus scan.

    Step-dad's: (Dell Optiplex tweaked upgrades) Windows Defender not turned back on by default. Full Scan.

    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
