Windows Update service not running
Using Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 on Dell XPS 8700, Intel i7-4770 cpu 3.4GHz
Received message: Windows cannot currently check for updates ... service is not running ... may need to restart
Restarting did not help. Services indicates that Windows Update was started and so was Remote Procedure Call (RPC). Since the last time I used Update (11/17/17), I have not added, altered, or removed any hardware.
Searching the 'net shows me that this problem is not uncommon and that there doesn't seem to be a "one-size-fits-all" solution.
Can anyone help me out with this?
Thanks
