Hi

Start regedit.exe

Under the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

delete the value "NoWindowsUpdate" if it exist.

If that doesn't solve it, under the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Group Policy Objects\LocalUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Policies\Windows Update

delete the value "DisableWindowsUpdateAccess" if it exist.

Regards,
Torgeir
