Cannot search for updates because files are not installed

y problem:

I have recently had to reinstall my whole OS, everything works fine, except
for Update! When I attempt to SEARCH for updates, it comes up with the error
'Files required to use Windows Update are no longer registered or installed
on your computer.' When it directs me to install/register these files, I do,
and then when I search for updates again, I get the same thing. What to do?
