I run with AutoUpdates off and have no problem running manual checks at the
Update site. I do not try to setup the page so that launching it also
starts the scan for updates. Instead I click the desired link (Automatic or
Custom) to initiate the scan.
There is a newsgroup for Windows Update. Follow the troubleshooting links
and it will lead you to them.
