Yes I am sure it isn't running, "net stop wuauserv" also says "the Automatic
updates service is not running".

And local account is selected and "original configuration" is enabled

Log entries contain lines like:

2005-08-01 00:02:58 788 5ac Agent * FATAL: Failed to initialize with
error 0x80070057 from component Selfupdate manager

Not sure what is going on.
