Re: Automatic Updates Will Not Turn On

Is Remote Procedural Call (RPC) also set to Automatic on startup ?
If yes, then try registering these files from a Command Prompt.
Type in each command exactly as written, *press Enter* after each one:

Start > Run > type in

cmd
net stop wuauserv
regsvr32 atl.dll
regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll,
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wups2.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
regsvr32 qmgr.dll
regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll
net start wuauserv
exit

See if AU can be started now. You can copy&paste the commands into the Command Prompt window by *right* clicking right after the prompt and choosing Paste after you've Copied them.

I am having trouble turning on Automatic Updates. I have been into the service menu, checked the properties for Automatic Updates and when I try to change Startup Type to Automatic, I get "Error 1058: The service cannot started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it." Both the BIT and Event Log are set to Automatic and running properly.

Because of this problem with Automatic Update I am unable to download any updates from the Microsoft Update website (I get Error number: 0x8DDD0018). Does anyone know how I can get Automatic Updates running again?

Thanks,

Adam
