I have trouble with executing any file, where as the same file seems to work without any errors on my home PC. Both are MiKTeX 2.9 x64. I have updated all packages as well, is anyone else facing the same issues ? Any advise ?

MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\title{Introduction to \LaTeX{}}
\author{Author's Name}

\maketitle

\begin{abstract}
The abstract text goes here.
\end{abstract}

\section{Introduction}
Here is the text of your introduction.

\begin{equation}
    \label{simple_equation}
    \alpha = \sqrt{ \beta }
\end{equation}

\subsection{Subsection Heading Here}
Write your subsection text here.

\begin{figure}
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=3.0in]{myfigure}
    \caption{Simulation Results}
    \label{simulationfigure}
\end{figure}

\section{Conclusion}
Write your conclusion here.

\end{document}

ERROR shown in pdflatex.log (under /appdata directory):

======================================================================

Unfortunately, the package miktex-latex could not be installed.Please check the log file:
C:/Users/asukumari/AppData/Local/MiKTeX/2.9/miktex/log/miktex-makefmt.log
======================================================================

Sorry, but miktex-makefmt did not succeed for the following reason:

  The input file could not be found.

The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again:

  C:/Users/asukumari/AppData/Local/MiKTeX/2.9/miktex/log/miktex-makefmt.log

You may want to visit the MiKTeX project page, if you need help.

Sorry, but "MiKTeX Configuration Utility" did not succeed.

    It is not a problem of your document but of your installation. The formats seems not be there and perhaps other things too. Check if your system is up-to-date: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/108490/2388 – Ulrike Fischer May 22 '17 at 17:36
