Have a look if the "Automatic Update Services" is running and set to
start automatically (Start -> Run -> services.msc).

Tried your suggestion..."status" says started and "start up type" says
automatic, but both grayed out buttons unchanged.

Have you used any "Tuning"- and/or "AntiSpy/Phone Home" tool or used Group
Policies to restrict something?

Anyway, have a look into the registry, the heart and soul of Windows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
exists? If true, is there value named "Windows Update" and set to "1"?
If true, set the value to "0" (zero) or delete the "Windows Update" value
there.
