I am trying to run Windows updates and I kept getting an error saying "Service not running". I tried the microsoft fix program, but that did not work. I have restarted multiple times at advisement of Microsoft Fix each time it says resolved and I still get error. Would be grateful for assistance

I am currently downloading SURT (I posted to Forum without following the advised steps first, my bad) I am thinking I shoud wait for the completion of steps 1-4 before I download the Farbar Service Scanner. Correct?
I have completed 1-4 and the FSS scan. Files attached. (I think!)
Not seeing any issues in FSS.txt
Do you get an error message when you try to start the service inside services
You might take a look in services.msc, try setting Windows Update to manual, Apply,OK. Then reboot.

I do not understand this question " Do you get an error message when you try to start the service inside services " I get the error message when I click All Programs - Windows Update - check for updates.
I tried "set to manual and rebooted" No luck .
Windows update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer.
