    Windows Update Service not installed error: 0x80070424


    PC 64bit
    Windows 7 home premium
    Windows Update does not work
    What I did for diagnose and solving the problem:

    1. Tried installing System Update Readiness Tool (SURT)
    received
    "Installer encountered an error: 0x80070424 The Specified service does not exist as an installed service"

    2. SFC Scan
    Command Prompt
    Run as Administrator
    sfc /scannow

    Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations

    3. Windows Update
    Via Start/Configuration: Windows Update

    Error: Windows update cannot check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer. (no error code)
    Restarting pc does not help.

    4. CBS.zip
    The CBS log created by sfc /scannow is attached


    5. Checking services:
    Run: Services.msc
    The windows update service is not in the list

    Any tip / advice appreciated.

    Please run the following commands, and post the results....

    REG QUERY HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellServiceObjects\{F56F6FDD-AA9D-4618-A949-C1B91AF43B1A}
    REG QUERY HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\ShellServiceObjects\{F56F6FDD-AA9D-4618-A949-C1B91AF43B1A}


    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.

    I've uploaded a file - ACFix.zip - to my SkyDrive at https://skydrive.live.com/#cid=936736BB8FCEB92F&id=936736BB8FCEB92F%21972
    Please download and save it to your desktop.
    Right-click on the saved file and select Extract all...
    Save it to the default location
    This should create a file ACFix.reg

    right-click on the file, and select Merge
    Accept the warnings, - you should then get a 'Success' message.
    Close all windows, and reboot.

    Run another Farbar scan and post the results.
    then test the Action Center works as expected
