you say " windows update does not work ", may I know what is happening ?
1) Does the search for updates never end ?
2) Do the updates fail to download ?
3) Do the updates fail to install ?
Also open the "WindowsUpdate.log"
click the Start -->in the Search field type windowsupdate.log, open this log file and scroll all the way to the bottom for the most recent entries.
post it for use to help you.

Why did you run a System Restore?
With the answer, we can work on fixing that problem.
You can undo that System Restore to see if that allows Windows Update to run normally.

when trying to run and install a windows update we currently get a code 800700C1 but last week it was 80080008

Copy these (all at once) into Wordpad
REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL /S
Then click File|Save As and save on Desktop as WU.bat . Double click on that .bat file.
You have not told us what really happens when you try to run WU. See pradeep08_81's post.
Have you run the other suggestions?
If no help, scan with your antivirus and antimalware programs.
And if still no help run a Repair Install.
