To resolve the problem, set the Startup types to “Automatic” & “Manual” respectively. To set these

1. Click Start  and search “services.msc”. this should show the services icon.

2. Right-click “Services” and select run as Administrator.

3. Once into services, in the right-pane look for “Windows update” service, right-click and select “properties”. Set Startup type as “Automatic” and start the service. Click Apply OK.

4. Similaryly, set the “Windows Modules Installer” service startup type as “manual”.

Once done, restart the computer and you should not have any problems with Windows Update.
