Hi all,

Running W7 Pro 64b.
Already for a longer time I am unable to update Windows.
It says the update service is not running and I need to restart Windows.
I can keep restarting it until the end of the day, but it won't help.
When I look to the services, I see that the update service has started
and is running. Stopping and restarting does not make any difference.
Windows keeps saying that it isn't running.
What to do next?

Or make a move to Linux? :-)

Thanks for your help.

I had to deal with that last night (w7 ult), deleting this folder, then
running Windows Update twice worked, it failed the first time, but
worked the 2nd time it was run. To be safe renaming it is probably smarter.
