Windows Update Error

[Allexx]

Hello people I'm new to this site so just want to say helloo to everyone firstly

Anyway I have recently installed Windows 7 Proffesional 64bit and I am having problems with Windows update, The update worked for about the first 3 times then after that i keep getting error messages and when i load windows update it either takes ages to load up or it crashes my computer, This is the same for when i click "Computer", My computer will randomly freeze up and crash resulting in restarting the computer.

I do not know what is wrong with either my computer or Windows 7 which is why I have come to this forum for help. I need help URGENTLY as i need the updates.

Hello there. The error is saying that your service that's needed for Windows Update is not running. You can start it by this way:
Start->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services.
Open Services and scroll down to find a service called Windows Update. Double click on it and you'll see this window

In StartUp type select Automatic. In service status click on button Start.
Restart your pc and should be working.

Strange... I was searching over the internet and found that this helped a lot of people with this problem. So give a try:
Cannot Run Windows Update on a Windows 7 PC?

If that doesn't work, this (admittedly very heavy-handed) approach may help:
Windows Update error 80070002

What Anti-virus program are you running?

try this i had an issue once with not being able to install some updates (they would always fail) disable antivirus (temporarily) and then download the auslogics registry cleaner and run that a few times (set up the advanced options to check every thing including for broken links and associations) and then run that a few times and see if that helps, i did that with mine and that seemed to resolve my update issue. make sure you turn on antivirus as that shouldn't be much of a factor...

If you use that registry cleaner,I would suggest you to create a backup of registry first.
