I have Windows updates set to update automatically but in the task bar the Solve PC issue icon tells me I have one issue. It states that I should change Windows update settings. They are on automatic updating yet I keep getting this message to change the settings. Switching off my Avast virus software makes no difference.
It makes no diiference. The PC issue message re Windows' updates settings is wrong and irritating.
Try this...
Open Windows Update
Click on Change Settings
Select 'Never Update...'
Click OK
exit Windows Update
Now open Windows update again
Click on Change Settings
Select 'Update automatically'
Click OK
exit Windows Update
Open Windows Update, and do a manual Check for Updates.
It didn't work. I am also told that Windows cannot check for updates as the system is not running. I might also add that it takes ages to access the Windows updates and ages to make any changes.
Please download the Farbar Service Scanner from
Farbar Service Scanner Download
Right-click on the saved file and select 'Run as Administrator', and tick all the options, then click on the Scan button - copy and paste the report to your response.

I should have added to my previous post that I am unable to download any Windows' upgrades. I have attempted a number of recommended solutions from Microsoft but to no avail.
Let's check something - please open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following commands.
SC QC BFE
SC QUERYEX BFE
Post the results
Here are some instructions to make life easier :)
1) To open an Elevated Command Prompt Window (the ECP window), click on Start, All Programs, Accessories – then right-click on Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator. Accept the UAC prompt.
2) To run the commands easier, highlight the block of commands, and right-click on the highlight – select Copy. In the CP Window, click on the black/white icon at top left – select Paste. The commands will run but may not complete the last command, so hit the Enter Key once.
3) To copy the results... click on the Black/White icon in the top left, and select Edit... 'Select All', and hit the Enter key - then use Ctrl+V or r-click+Paste to paste it into your response.
Thanks for the help.
