The reason it is temporary is most likely due to Group Policy being used to configure auto updates to use a local WSUS server.

The (incorrect) permissions used in the GP to set the service to “autostart” are over-writing the changed permissions each time you reboot.

Try reviewing the permission in the GP, and adding the permissions used in the command which fixes it temporarily.

You’ll need to decode this:

SC sdset wuauserv D:(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;PU)

to determine what permissions are actually being set.

This fix works, please try this and it will solve your problem.

That works temporarily. When you reboot it goes back to the previous values
