Windows Update not working after using Windows Repair v3.9.32 (SOLVED)
Boggin:
It's never advisable to download a DLL file from a 3rd party website as they could carry some nasties with them - they are always best got from the source.
If you have a valid retail product key, you can download a Win 7 SP1 ISO from https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows7
Scroll down the page and enter your product key and if it accepts it then it will release the download and select Save.
You can then use Windows USB/DVD burner tool to create either a bootable DVD or USB.

If you don't have the Win 7 product key to hand, it may be listed when you go Start - right click on Computer and select Properties and scroll down to the bottom of the page - else download the free version of Speccy.

When it has analysed your system, click on Operating System and it will display your product key.
With the install disk, go Start - Computer - insert the DVD and double click on its drive.
This will start the process for a repair install that won't affect your personal stuff or installed programs.
However, I'm not sure if an offboot sfc /scannow would replace that DLL.
To perform that you would need to boot up with an install disk that included SP1 and navigate to the Install screen to click on Repair your computer.
Navigate to the Recovery Environment and select Command Prompt.
At the prompt enter bcdedit |find "osdevice" and using that partition letter instead of the X I have used, enter -
sfc /scannow /offbootdir=X\ /offwindir=X:\Windows
That will check your volume against the install disk and will hopefully repair without the need to do a repair install.
You need to enter that bcdedit cmd as it doesn't always see the volume in C: in that mode.
For clarity, that is a Pipe symbol before find and is the uppercase of \ and note the space before each /
EDIT - I don't have anything to open a .rar file - if you right click on the desktop icon - Send to and zip it up, you can attach it that way, but if it only reports the same as SFCFix.exe then there's no need.

Hi Boggin,
Finally, after struggling with dust, I found my Win7 install DVD.
By the way, after reading your explanation, do you suggest to obtain the SP1 version of DVD?
Becoz the one that I have is quite ancient, see it yourself the image :D
If so then it would take some time to download.
Also attached is the CBS.zip. I don't really understand the whole of them, but from somewhere at the end it mentioned corrupted bootres.dll.
I attached it just in case I made a hasty conclusion.
At the moment maybe I need to get the SP1 version of DVD.
Boggin:
Yes, your install disk has to match the version you now have installed which is the SP1 version for to perform either an offboot sfc /scannow or repair install.
The download is ~3.09GB and when I was on ADSL with a download speed of ~6Mbps I think it used take ~1hr 20mins.
I usually Ethernet connect when downloading a large file so that I'll get the best download speed and wired can be more stable than a wireless connection.
Given that you had run a sfc /scannow prior to running Windows Repair, this CBS log has quite a lot in it with moving files.
I wonder if WR did that ?
I'll run a sfc /scannow on my Win 7 and save the CBS log, run WR and then another sfc /scannow to compare.
I looked up that bootres.dll and was wondering if a offboot sfc /scannow would fix it as it could have been corrupted by a 3rd party program, but as it's referenced by MS Windows Client Features, it may do.
