Windows update service not running

This is what I get when I run the NET START WUAUSERV command:

The service is not responding to the control function.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2186.

This particular unit is running Windows 10 Home 32 bit. Will have a look at that post now..

Going to try Avast, was only running Windows Defender.

Running Malware Bytes and just ran Avast, no viruses or malware detected.

Hi PBC,
Im totally confused.
The Farbar report was incomplete, yes?, according to it you only had 2 file check services.

You are contradicting yourself, your quoting 2 OS's win10 and 8.1 in the same post.

IF you are running W10,
HOW did you you get it, not sure looking at those specs, dont believe it would have passed the W10system check...
