Windows cannot update no update service
Hello All,
i'm working on a pc currently, and have run into a big issue while trying to fix another, and i have just noticed this pc has not been updated since it was purchased.
I have tried running windows updates but receive the error message
"windows cannot update the service is currently not running you may need to reboot your pc"
i rebooted with no change then i went into services.msc and attempted to restart the services for update but there are no update services in there (?)
i ran the windows update located on these forums that reset's the update history as well as the services with no change
i have ran anything i could find on the support site for microsoft for windows update, the trouble shooter turned up nothing.
i have also attempted ot add the wuau.adm template but there is none to be found..
basically how it looks to me currently is as if windows update is not installed/located on this computer anywhere
as well all thefixes are saying update is working
and yes i have turned automatic update off and then on again
any help would be much appreciated
thank you
