Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 - Windows Update service Disabled

When trying to start the Windows Update service I'm getting error
Windows could not start the Windows Update service on Local Computer.
Error 1058: The service cannot be started, eithe because it is disabled or
because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

I have rebooted, reneabled a few times stop started the Background
Intelligent Transfer Service but I'm still unable to check for updates
automatically or manually.

Hello Matthew,

1058 0x80070422
ERROR_SERVICE_DISABLED
The service cannot be started. If BITS service is disabled by the
Administrator, or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.
ERROR_SERVICE_DISABLED then this error will be seen.
BITS has been disabled. Enable the BITS service.

Start/Run
Type "services.msc"
Click "OK"

Please check the following are started:

1.Automatic Updªtes
2.Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)
3.Cryptographic Services
4.Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
5.System Restore Service

To verify that BITS is correctly configured :

1.Double-click `Background Intelligent Transfer Service.`

2.In the Startup type box, click Manual, and then Apply.

3. Click the `Log On` tab, and then verify that the service is enabled in
every hardware profile that you have listed.

If the service is disabled in one or more hardware profiles, click the
hardware profile, Enable, and then Apply.

4. Click the General tab and then Start.

If BITS starts successfully, visit the Windows Update Web site or the
Microsoft Update Web site to see if you can obtain updates. If it works OK,
change (2.) to automªtic.

If you still receive the same errors, verify that you have correctly
performed steps 1 through 5.


The necessary service "Automatic Updates" (WUAUSERV) is not started or is
unavailable. Error 0x80070422 (Resolution 1)

Hi,

Many thanks for your advise, unfortunately I can't find the System Restore
Service in Service.msc
I have tried setting the BITS to Manual, stopping, restarting this service
as well as the RPC and Windows Update services. All services are enabled on
both profiles.

Is there a registery key that I can check ?

Kindest regards

Matt
