New Clean Win 7 Install Win Update Problem

by Feb 6, 2016 5:34PM PST

Just did a clean install of Windows 7 32 Bit. When I open Windows Update I get the Red Shield with the X on it. I checked the appropriate sections in Services (window update and dependencies), and both RPC (Remote Procedure Call) sections and everything is correct. Any further input would be appreciated.

I let Windows auto update. It worked itself out eventually.
