Updates not working

[tanuj_chadha]

I have an updates issue. I just downloaded & installed SP1 on the system. And after that everytime I start the system I get a small popup which states as windows update is not enabled. I have tried every thing possible. But cannot do that. When I checked services.msc. It showed automatic updates as disabled, whenever I try to set it manual. It say service cannot be started & is gets disabled again. I have run scans but got nothing.

1.Have you already done this?->http://www.vistax64.com/software-tools/183498-windows-update-reset-repair-tools.html
2.If point 1 no help,check do you have the newest versions of drivers - if not update them.
3.If nothing help you,uninstall non-system firewall,antivirus,antimalware

If you have Nero 8 or newer,anyone from Symantec,Deamon Tools 4 ->uinstall them either - if will be OK install all again

4.If point 3 no help you must uninstall SP and install it again

you can also re download windows update from microsoft .com downloads section

I have uninstalled Nero 8, daemon tools, Norton 360, & reset the updates. It worked fine for sometime but after a couple of restarts. The issue was there again. I created a new user profile the issue was not there but after I was finished transferring the data, the issue came up again. I would wait for a couple of days & do some more research. And if nothing works then re-install the service pack. And one more thing that IE would not open the web page for windows update.

check your date settings. if it's set to a previous date for example 2006, it would give you errors.

you can also try running startup repair.
