RE: Automatic Updates service hung on starting

I have also been seeing 7022 Error message in the Events Viewer "The
Automatic Updates service hung on starting". It appears not to effect any
functioning of the automatic updates, but it definitely causes the computer
to be sluggish on startup. I am looking for the "fix" for this error.
