Aggressive mode is where windows updates is reset to its pristine condition - as if it was straight out of the box

There are signs of a cracked/illegal windows and none were present that I could see  ;D

What do you want off the context menu? Edit the screenshot and mark the context menu options. :)

That could be part of the problem...  ::)

Let's try this one: MS Tool 2

Go there with Internet Explorer, click the "Fix it for me". There will be two options: normal mode & aggressive mode.
Try the normal mode first, reboot, test. If that did not fix it, try the aggressive mode, reboot and check again.

Please report back after you tried that.

 ;)

You noticed her screenshot, essexboy? System drive is "D:\"...  Any impact on this problem?

Shouldn't do if it was initially installed on that drive - as all variables should point to D

it says that. "Problem: A problem on your computer is preventing updates from being downloaded or installed "

With all due respect to the professional folks here I really think that post up there needs some explanation. This is mighty weird under any circumstances. Changing partition size, or adding a partition I am familiar with, but I'm not understanding what is meant here by "reformating" the PC. What exactly was "reformatted" and when? And the "name changing" business needs explanation.

In other words, I think y'all should forget about the updates for now and refocus attention on some sort of system screwup on a not so small scale. I'd also recommend getting personal data, documents, pictures, etc. stored onto a memory stick or something before doing anything else, as I smell trouble right around the corner. Of course, you've probably already done that, but a reminder is standard when getting into such troubleshooting.
