TaurArian,
I did exactly as you had suggested.
From the command line as an administrator I entered "net stop wuauclt".
It returned "System error 1060 has occurred" "The specified serviced does
not exist as an installed service"
Next from the command line as an administrator I entered "net stop bits".
It returned "The background intelligent transfer service service is
stopping" [The word service is used twice by MS]
Under Services.msc it showed the service as stopping.
After a time out period it returned "The Background Intelligent Transfer
service service could not be stopped"
When that did not work I tried to shutdown the services by hand in
services.msc, as an administrator.
The Windows Update service returned "Error 1053: The service did not respond
to the start or control request in a timely fashion"
The Background Intelligent Transfer Service timed out exactly as before.
Thank you for the suggestion. If you have anymore I am willing to try.
Regards,
R. Frey
San Diego, Ca.
