error code 80248009 from windows update.

I keep getting error code 80248009 when I try to update windows, and error
0x80248009 when I try to update windows defender. I got windows vista and
using windows explorer 8. My system is a 64 bit. Please someone help me been
trying to figure it out for a couple of days now. And all I find is a
solution for the same error and I tried it which was going to command prompt
and entering net stop wuauserv then hit enter then entering start wuauserv
then hit enter and restarting my computer. Tried to windows update and still
same problem. Second, time I tried it I noticed it said system 32 so Im
guessing thats for a 32 bit system. If not then the solution doesnt or isnt
working.

The data store is in an invalid state because data that should be present is
missing. This will occur if we try to fetch a linked row from another table
and the linked row does not exist. This can happen with EULAs, files,

I have a 32-based system and followed all your instructions except for the
readiness tool as it won't work on my system. I still can't get updates and
can't find anything on Microsofts website regarding this error. I searched
for a readiness tool for 32 bit systems, but couldn't find anything. Any
other suggestions?
