--> sfc /scannow - no errors


--> Dism /Online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth - no change in behaviour

Avira Anti Virus - clean
MalwareBytes - clean

Suspicions:
1. Got tricked into the Microsoft Account when testing skype - reverted back by 'removing' the Microsoft Account login
2. Excessive sun radiation activity (really?)

Thanks !!!!

Hi and Thank you !

Your Instructions cleared all the errors, but I noticed today that Windows THINKS that I have no internet, when I do.

On the Network and Sharing Center I get : Not connected. "the dependency service or group failed to start

Windows Update Seems to be stuck downloading Updates....

I tried:
netsh winsock reset catalog
netsh int ip reset reset.log

Restarted, and still the same...

Weird?

After a long wait now Windows update shows eror code: 80246008

Weird.

I think the fixes did the Internet issue, as before, the Updates were downloading fine.

I suspectDism /Online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth - screwed the internet connection. It works bot it shows as broken.

After trying EVERYTHING possible found out:

1. Problem due to the fact that I accidentally attached my user to Microsoft Account ! me@hotmail.com
2. Upon realizing a couple of days later, I disconnected my user from me@hotmail.com
3. Problem IS a result of this activity
4. None of the account fix tools worked
5. It was no longer possible to re-attach the account or detach.
6. Many services were no longer starting due to wrong permissions

FIX:
Restore partition from the day just BEFORE having attached account to me@hotmail.com

RESULT:
Back to normal
