Windows Update is disabled

I have McAfee installed but got a notification "Windows Update is Disabled"
but when I click "enable", it prompts "An unexpected error was encountered
while enabling Windows Updating.."

Tried to update from Start menu, but gets Error 0x80070002 from Microsoft
website. Following all the steps suggested in the link "Read more about steps
you can take to resolve this problem (error number 0x80070002) yourself" but
when I tried the last step: start the automic update service via running
services.msc, it prompts " could not start the automatic update services on
local computer. Error 2: the system cannot find the file specified".

Any one knows how to fix it? please help me.

Thanks in advance
