Tip: Windows update won't run because the update service is notrunning
Hi All,
Speaking of a house of cards, if you are getting a stupid "windows can not update because the update service in not running" error and the service is actually running. 1) stop the windows update service 2) delete the Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder 3) restart the service 4) reopen the Update Windows dialog. Click the update button. If it still does not work, on the right, click on the change setting line. Then change back to the check updates dialog and try again. Worked four out of four times for me. HTH, -T |
