Very weird. I am running Windows 8.1. The other day I come to find my nvidia and Bosto drawing tablet drivers hosed. I proceed to try to install new ones which seemed to work. I noticed when trying to run Windows update it hangs on installation. Then it seemed to apply to almost anything. In other words, my OS runs ok, programs launch but I can't install or uninstall anything. I thought it might be the Windows installer so I ran the MS online fixit. I also ran MSIExec /unregister and MSIExec /regserver, Still no good. Avira, Malware bytes and Kaspersky's rootkit scanner come up clean.
Out of desperation I put in my 8.1 disk and ran the inplace upgrade which created a new Windows directory and everything. Although it retained my setting I still cannot install or uninstall anything. I know I can rebuild but my inner nerd is so lost on this I feel like I need to fix it. Any thoughts?
