I cannot fix the 0800B0100 Windows Update error.

I tried to use the FixIt program that Microsoft offers.  When I run it, it tells me that it fixed two problems, but when I try to do the update once again, I again get the 800B0100 error.  Help!  I cannot do updates now.

Hi,

You may need to reset the updates and run the SUR then rerun the Fixit. Be sure to reboot and
try the updates first.
