Windows Update Service Not Running
I am running windows 7 Ultimate. Windows update says the service is not running, please restart. I noticed in another thread that a few things were required to allow diagnosis of the problem. These were Please open an Elevated Command Prompt and run the following commands
NET START BFE
NET START BITS
NET START WUAUSERV
NET START TRUSTEDINSTALLER
post the results.
I did this and the following was received.
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

C:\Users\Tony>NET START BFE

I did have a problem where BFE was not able to be run but this was rectified recently when I installed Norton Internet Security 2013.
Any help in being able to get the Windows Update Service started and running would be appreciated.
Cheers
