5.Reboot your computer

6.Go back to start menu and in all programs go to "windows update" you have to be connected to the internet.

7.Manually update windows.

8.Turn your automatic updates back on.

I have also had a number of people comment that the problem reappears after some time.  The recommended fix, if the problem reappears, is to turn off automatic updates, and just manually go to Windows Update periodically and update your machine
