Windows will not update, stoping other programs from updating
HP Laptop running windows 7 - 64
Windows will not check for updates or run updates.
When I attempt to make windows check for updates I get error - windows update can not currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart.
I have restarted the computer more times than I can count.
I tried to download a SURT. Says it downloaded but then I get error - Installer encountered an error: 0x80070424 The specified service does not exist as an installed service.
I tried to print a Log Collection I get a Error: File not found or no read permission.
However I was able to run a SFC and it came back - Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrityviolations.
I have been reading online forums and messing with this for 3 weeks.
This is a work computer and I need to install updates for work but they say the updates will not run until Windows is updated.
