After following these instructions BITS comes up as manual and you can start
and stop it, you can even switch to Automatic and start and stop it, however
Automatic Updates has been disabled and if you go back and try to turn it
back on it says "Service is marked for deletion". After rebooting and going
to WU, you get error message 0x80070424.

What is my next step?
