As the subject suggests, the Windows update service is active in Services.msc but when selecting it in the start menu, the expected box doesn't appear. I've tried a couple of MS repair utilities where one verifies the PC can connect to the online service but the problem still persists.

I have Windows 7 64-bit.

Thanks and hope you can help.

If the file is too large (8MB compressed), remove the older CBSPersist cab files until the final file is below the limit - you can always post them separately after zipping them. (the forum doesn't allow the upload of bare CAB files, for a number of reasons)
