automatic updates not found in services msc.?

Question

i have problems turning on windows automatic updates although i've already turn in on actually and automatic updates in services.msc cannot be found.

I have problem updating it and microsoft also at it will appear "The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view.Error number: 0x80070424".

The icon in the bottom show a red cross icon and it remain unable to turn the security updates on.Isit a virus or something that prevent the automatic updates from on or isit because of automatic updates not found in services.msc?

*dont ask me to go under system to check the automatic updates all that stuffs because i've already done in lots of times.

Answer 1

Give this a try and see if it solves the problem..............

Go to Start>Run and key in:
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
Click on OK or hit ENTER, wait a few seconds, then click on OK in the
RegSvr32 dialogue box.
Now, open the registry editor (Start>Run key in regedit then click on OK or
hit ENTER)
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv
Look for a DeleteFlag value and, if it exists, right-click on it and select
Delete.


Now see if if you can successfully update.
If not, then:

Go to Start>Run and key in:
net stop wuauserv
Then click on OK or hit ENTER
When the Automatic Updates service has stopped, use My Computer or Windows
Explorer to navigate to the C:\Windows or C:\WINNT (if C:\Windows does not
exist) folder. Rename the SoftwareDistribution folder to SDOLD
Go to Start>Run and key in:
net start wuauserv
Then click on OK or hit ENTER

Now try the Windows Update site and see if the error has been resolved.
