    Windows automatic update
    I have a windows security alerts shield popped up and says that my automatic updater has been turned off an needs to start again. It won't turn on automatically nor can I turn it on either. I tried the Services.msc in the run command, and found out that I cannot chave the auto update to apply to automatic. It just continues to stay diabled, this here is the (path to executable: C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs) I tried to manually update via the update site but all I get is this error: The site cannot continue because one or more of these Windows services is not running: [Error number: 0x8DDD0018]
    So no idea what to do here, ay sugestion?
    thanks for help

    Xp or vista

    Start, run and type
    Regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll

    After this, go back to services and look for
    Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)

    This should be set to Manual, if not, change and then click the Start button and Apply

    Now go back to automatic updates and change to Automatic and Start button and apply

    My OS is XP and I did try what you suggested seahwk83. It seems to work even though I got a script error

    An error has occurred in the script on this page
    Line: 1
    Char: 1
    Error: Unspecified error
    Code: 0
    URL: res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\mmcndmgr.dll/views.htm

    Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
    [YES] [NO]

    What happens if you select yes, it still should go through

    Try this

    Login as Administrator or equivalent. Click Start, Run and type these commands one by one:

    Regsvr32 jscript.dll
    Regsvr32 vbscript.dll

    Found this

    Resolution

    This occurs due to missing OLE32 registration. You may use the following VBScript to correct the above problems. Download olereg.vbs and run the file.
    http://windowsxp.mvps.org/reg/olereg.vbs

    Download and run, then say OK to any message that comes up

    Hope this helps
