Automatic updates not working. Get message:
"Automatic update service not available"

I have checked services to see if it was running and it's
not even there. Is is something that I can
install/reinstall?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Go to Start > Run and type: MSCONFIG , and hit enter.
Under the General tab, check "Normal Startup - load all device drivers and services",
click "apply" and reboot.
