Cannot Access Windows Update, iTunes, IE and others

Hi,

Since buying my laptop over 3 years ago I have NEVER been able to update windows, access the itunes store, IE, steam and a few other programs. I can however use the internet with chrome, firefox, file sharing software, etc with no problems whatsoever.

When I try to use Windows update it says: "Windows could not search for new updates Code 80072F8F".
When I click on the iTunes store button it stays on "Accessing iTunes store" indefinitely.
IE opens up, but cannot load any webpages.

After peviosuly being unable to solve the problem, I swept it under the rug until recently getting an iphone 6 (having forgotten about this issue) and hit my head against a wall remembering that I can't put my music onto my computer because I can't access the itunes store.

Things I have done so far to try and solve the issue:

1) Temporarily disabled antivirus software (AVG)
2) Made sure I'm not using a proxy
3) Repairing my internet connection
4) Reinstalling said programs which don't work (itunes, steam etc)
5) Restarting in safe mode with networking
6) Performing a clean boot
7) Ran SFC /scannow (couldn't fix all files) and then SFCfix ("No corruptions were detected") and then SFC /scannow a 2nd time (couldn't fix files)
8) Checked my BIOS clock settings
9) Downloaded Malware bytes and ran a scan - removing 7 PUPs
10) Ran the DDS file (see attachment)

spunk.funk and masterchiefxx17 advised me to post here for advice. Previous thread can be found here:
