Windows Update Service Not Running

I'll fix them, once Jacee gives you a clean bill of health - there's no point in fixing them if they are only going to get wiped in the next reboot ;)

ESET Scan has been run but it did not give me the option to perform steps 10, 11 or 12.


I did a screenshot which shows that ESET found no threats. I have enclosed the screen shot as a Word document and a rar file.


If I am needed to run the scan again let me know.

Should be able to fix all of them in one sweep if I get it right :) - then comes the hard bit of working out what else may have been affected.

The known affected services
MPSSVC
WSCSVC
WUAUSERV
BITS
WINDEFEND
IPHLPSVC
SHAREDACCESS
While I'm working up the fix for those, let's get you producing the list of installed services...

Open Regedit - be careful here because registry errors can be fatal!

in the left pane, navigate to
HKey_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

Right-click on the 'Services' key and select Export
Select to export to the Desktop
in the File name box type 'mpkservh'
at the 'File Type' box, select 'Registry Hive Files'
and save the file
Close Regedit

Compress the mpkservh file and upload the compressed file to your reply.

That'll give me something to keep me awake tonight :)
