Cannot turn Automatic update on

I have a red shield on my toolbar and when click it Auto Update is off, I
click the turn it on but nothing happens. I then go into services via
Start/Run --services.msc--and go into Auto Update and click properties and
select either manual or auto and click start..I then get an error 1058
message stating somehting like I do not have an associated device to support
auto update.....Help please, this has only just occurred....
