Of recent, Windows Update has been crashing the svchost.exe causing my network drives to show up as disconnected in windows explorer. This is causing many of my applications to fail. The error I was receiving was:

Faulting application svchost.exe, version 5.1.2600.2180, faulting module msi.dll, version 3.1.4000.2435, fault address 0x00012780.

I have created a simple batch file to fix this error as opposed to doing this manually.

Open up notepad (start->run->notepad)

Copy and paste the following text into notepad

----------COPY EVERYTHING BELOW THIS LINE----------

net stop wuauserv /y
net stop BITS /y
rd C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution /s
regsvr32 WUAPI.DLL
regsvr32 WUAUENG.DLL
regsvr32 WUAUENG1.DLL
regsvr32 ATL.DLL
regsvr32 WUCLTUI.DLL
regsvr32 WUPS.DLL
regsvr32 WUPS2.DLL
regsvr32 WUWEB.DLL

----------COPY EVERYTHING ABOVE THIS LINE----------

Save this file as wufix.bat

You can run this by either double clicking on it or via the command prompt.
