- Вопросы и ответы
Способ 1: «Службы»
Если автоматические обновления отключены, то можно вручную их активировать, перезапустив соответствующую службу:
- Откройте приложение «Службы». Для этого одновременным нажатием на клавиши «Win + R» вызовите диалоговое окно «Выполнить» и пропишите команду
services.msc
. - В списке служб найдите «Центр обновления Windows» и дважды щелкните левой кнопкой мыши по названию. Если необходимо, можно нажать на вкладку «Имя» и упорядочить службы по алфавиту, чтобы было проще отыскать строку по имени.
- В новом окошке в меню «Тип запуска» выберите пункт «Автоматически». Нажмите на кнопку «Применить».
- Если служба выключена, то кликните по кнопке «Запустить», затем по «ОК».
Служба автоматического поиска и установки обновлений для операционной системы, программных компонентов и продуктов компании теперь активирована.
Способ 2: «Командная строка»
Включить автообновление в Виндовс 10 можно с помощью специальной команды, введенной в интерфейсе консоли «Командная строка», которая запущена с расширенными правами:
- Откройте средство, введя соответствующий запрос в системной строке поиска. В результате запросов выберите пункт «Запуск от имени администратора».
- В интерфейсе терминала вставьте команду
net start wuauserv
, затем нажмите на клавишу «Enter».
В окне консоли отобразится уведомление, что служба успешно активировалась, и она будет действовать в автоматическом режиме.
Способ 3: «Редактор реестра»
Еще один метод активации служб автоматического обновления Windows 10 – это внесение изменений в системный реестр. Следует отметить, что невнимательно выполненные действия могут привести к нарушению работоспособности системы, поэтому можно создать контрольную точку для восстановления состояния, если что-то пошло не так после редактирования.
Читайте также: Инструкция по созданию точки восстановления Windows 10
- Откройте приложение «Редактор реестра». Быстрее всего оно запускается через вызов приложения «Выполнить» (клавиши Win + R) и команду
regedit
. - Разверните ветки:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindowsUpdateAU
. В каталоге «AU» отыщите параметр «NoAutoUpdate» и дважды кликните по нему, чтобы перейти в окно с настройкой. - В поле «Значение» введите «0» и щелкните по кнопке «ОК».
Также можно полностью удалить параметр, кликнув по нему правой кнопкой мыши и выбрав соответствующий пункт.
Способ 4: «Редактор локальной групповой политики»
Настройка автоматического обновления через «Редактор локальной групповой политики» подойдет для редакций Pro и Enterprise. Используя средство, можно включить загрузку и установку апдейтов без вмешательства пользователя:
- Через диалоговое окно «Выполнить» перейдите в приложение «Редактор локальной групповой политики», вставив команду
gpedit.msc
. - На панели слева раскройте меню «Конфигурация компьютера», затем выберите «Административные шаблоны». В разделе «Компоненты Windows» найдите каталог «Центр обновления Windows». Нажмите на него.
- В главном окне отыщите функцию «Настройка автоматического обновления». Кликните по ней два раза левой кнопкой мыши.
- В новом окне поставьте отметку у пункта «Включено», затем нажмите на кнопку «ОК» для подтверждения действия.
Помимо активации автоматического обновления операционной системы, в окне с настройками можно задать период и время для загрузки апдейтов, определить подходящий вариант обновлений, откладывать процедуру на определенное время.
Способ 5: «Диспетчер задач»
Можно попробовать активировать службу автообновления в Windows 10 через средство «Диспетчер задач», где пользователь может контролировать процессы и управлять ими:
- Запустите «Диспетчер задач». Обычно достаточно щелкнуть правой кнопкой мыши по нижней рабочей панели и выбрать нужное средство в меню.
- Откройте вкладку «Службы» и найдите «wuauserv», отвечающую за «Центр обновления Windows». Работает ли служба, можно посмотреть в столбике «Состояние». Чтобы включить ее, кликните по названию правой кнопкой мыши и выберите пункт «Запустить».
Способ 6: Сторонний софт
Для управления обновлениями используются сторонние утилиты, с помощью которых можно быстро, без ручного редактирования реестра или использования команд, как приостановить, так и включить автообновления в Windows 10. Одним из таких инструментов является бесплатная программа Win Update Stop с простым интерфейсом.
Скачать Win Update Stop с официального сайта
- Скачайте и установите утилиту. После запуска в интерфейсе можно увидеть две кнопки, где «Enable» обозначает включение обновлений операционной системы.
- Принцип работы программы заключается в изменении параметров «Центра обновления Windows». Перейти в раздел «Параметров» можно, нажав на кнопку «Open Windows Updates».
Возобновление обновлений
Через приложение «Параметры» можно не только посмотреть наличие апдейтов, но и настроить автоматическое обновление операционной системы. Если загрузка и установка новых программных компонентов временно отключена, то ее можно возобновить в несколько кликов:
- Щелкните по значку Windows на нижней рабочей панели, затем в меню выберите пункт в виде шестеренки – «Параметры».
- В новом окне перейдите в раздел «Обновление и безопасность».
- На вкладке «Центр обновления Windows» выберите функцию возобновления автообновлений. Также можно настроить автоматические обновления, убрав лимитное подключение или изменив другие настройки. Для этого кликните по строке «Дополнительные параметры».
- Если на компьютере установлены другие продукты компании Microsoft, например Word, то для автоматического обновления программ отметьте соответствующую опцию. Если используется интернет с ограниченным трафиком, то лучше отключить скачивание обновлений через лимитные подключения.

The Windows Update Service helps in updating your Windows 11/10 system to the latest version and it is necessary because it pushes updates required by the operating system. The service is managed through the Service Manager. However, some users have reported a case where the Windows Update Service missing in services.msc in Windows 11/10. At times you may see error code 0x80070424.
Windows Update Service is missing (0x80070424)
While the basic cause is a missing file, a user reported that it was apparently removed by malware. Thus, it is advisable to perform a full system anti-virus scan on your system before proceeding with any troubleshooting mentioned below:
- Run the Windows Updates Troubleshooter
- Run an SFC scan
- Use DISM to fix Windows Update files
- Re-register or reset Windows Updates components
- Use Registry fix
- Reset your computer
- Repair Windows 10 using external media
Try the following solutions sequentially to resolve the issue in discussion.
1] Run the Windows Updates Troubleshooter
The Windows Update Troubleshooter can resolve a lot of problems related to Windows Updates. It can be helpful if you encounter the problem in the discussion. The procedure to run the Windows Updates Troubleshooter is as follows:
Click on the Start button and go to Settings> Updates and Security > Troubleshoot.
Select the Windows Updates Troubleshooter and run it.
2] Run an SFC scan
The System File Checker or sfc.exe is a utility in Microsoft Windows located in C:WindowsSystem32 folder. This utility allows users to scan for and restore corrupt Windows system files. Since the main cause of the issue is missing files, you can consider running an SFC scan on your system
3] Use DISM to fix Windows Update files
If a generic SFC scan doesn’t work on your system, you could try a Windows Updates specific DISM scan.using the following command:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
This procedure will check for missing and corrupt files associated with Windows Updates and replace them.
If your Windows Update client is already broken, you will be prompted to use a running Windows installation as the repair source or use a Windows side-by-side folder from a network share, as the source of the files.
You will then be required to run the following command instead:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:C:RepairSourceWindows /LimitAccess
Here you have to replace the C:RepairSourceWindows placeholder with the location of your repair source.
Once the process is complete, DISM will create a log file in %windir%/Logs/CBS/CBS.log and capture any issues that the tool finds or fixes.
4] Re-register Windows Updates service/Reset Windows Updates components
If the above-mentioned solutions failed to bring any result, you could consider resetting the Windows Updates components. This is a long a complicated process but works well when done step by step. Usually, this solution should resolve the problem with Windows Updates, no matter what, but if it doesn’t help, you might have to consider resetting your system.
5] Use Registry Fix
Back up your Registry and also create a System Restore Point first and THEN download this file from our servers and extract its contents. It will contain a Fix-WUS.reg file. Double-click on it to add its contents to your Registry.
Check if it has solved the issue. If yes, good; if not, restore your Registry or your Windows using the created backups.
6] Reset your computer
Resetting your Windows system comes with two options: the first is to delete all files and programs on the system start new and the second is to reset the settings to default while keeping your files intact. It is advisable to start with the option to keep the files intact and if that doesn’t work, you can consider wiping data from your system after a proper backup.
7] Repair Windows 11/10 using external media
While resetting Windows 11/10 should clear most of your problems, if that doesn’t work, you could consider a repairing Windows 11/10 using external media. This would require a DVD or USB drive with a Windows ISO. The problem is that unlike previous versions of Windows, the recovery media usually doesn’t come with the package when you buy a computer. You could either order it separately or create it on your own.
We hope this guide helps in resolving your problem.

Hey, I’ve been using the beta for a while and have been working under the assumption that winupdate was running in the background doing its thing, however now upon launching windows update I get the red cross shield and ‘check for updates’ button, which upon clicking gives an error message»
‘windows update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer’Restarting does nothing, upon checking services.msc, there IS NO WINDOWS UPDATE SERVICE! I have the wuaueng.dll, and wusa.exe, but am unable to use wusa to install microsoft updates manually (such as the windows media player fix for corrupted mp3s), when I try to launch a .msu file I get this:
‘Installer encountered an error 0x80070424
The specified service does not exist as an installed service’So how can I install… the windows update service?!
I have tried sfc/scannow in cmd and it told me that it did not find any integrity violations
I’m on beta 7000 ultimate x86

Do you have the following registry key info below? It is very likely that your computer/network is infected with a variant of the Conficker virus. One of it’s first attack actions is to cripple the Windows Update service to prevent itself being removed by thngs like Windows Defender or the Maliscious Software Removal Tool. Even though Win7 does not have any vulnerabilities conficker can attack, it also attacks accounts with weak or blank passwords.
Review: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/SearchResults.aspx?query=conficker
Download and run MSRT — http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/families.mspx==========

Once you have that all done, let me know if you need asistance getting your Windows Update service registry entries back together. Honestly, our recommendation after infection is to reinstall the OS to guarantee that a Conficker variant did not leave behind a rootkit, worm, or backdoor account that AV tools don’t catch.

Заходя в службы services.msc Windows 11/10, можно обнаружить, что нет в списке службы Центра обновления Windows, тем самым получая ошибку, что она не запущена.
Отсутствие службы центра обновления Windows может быть связано с повреждением записей реестра вредоносным ПО или вы применили программу по отключению данной службы, чтобы Windows 11 или 10 не обновлялись.
В этой инструкции о том, как восстановить службу Windoows Update, которая пропала из списка и не может быть запущена в Windows 11/10.
1. Восстановление некоторых записей реестра
В первую очередь сделайте резервную копию реестра и создайте точку восстановления. Далее скачайте reg файл, распакуйте его и запустите WU missing.reg, после чего перезагрузите ПК. Далее:
- Нажмите Win+R и введите services.msc
- Найдите службу Центр обновления Windows
- Запустите её, если она остановлена
- Убедитесь, что проблема решена
2. Сканирование на вирусы
Воспользуйтесь сканером DrWeb для нахождения вредоносного ПО, которое может быть виновником за отсутствие службы WU.
3. Восстановить системные файлы
Из-за поврежденных системных файлов может не оказаться службы центра обновления windows в списках служб. Чтобы проверить целостность системы, запустите командную строку от имени администратора и введите ниже команды по порядку:
sfc /scannow
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
! Перезагрузитесь и проверьте, появилась ли служба Windows Update

Windows может не получать обновления, в том числе и устраняющие критические уязвимости в системе безопасности, по нескольким причинам. В этой статье мы рассмотрим все возможные причины и расскажем как устранить их.
1. Включите службу обновления Windows
Последние обновления Windows могут не загружаться на компьютер из-за того, что служба, отвечающая за их загрузку выключена. Первым делом необходимо убедиться в том, что она активна.
Шаг 1. Нажмите сочетание клавиш Win + R, введите в открывшемся окне команду services.msc и нажмите Enter.
Шаг 2. Найдите в списке служб строчку «Центр обновления Windows».
Шаг 3. Дважды щелкните по ней левой кнопкой мыши, после чего в графе «Тип запуска» выберите пункт «Автоматически».
Шаг 4. Нажмите «Применить» для сохранения изменений.
2. Уберите лимит с беспроводного подключения
Примечание: актуально только для Windows 10.
Данный способ подойдет только тем пользователям, которые подключаются к Сети посредством беспроводного соединения. В таком случае на беспроводное подключение может быть установлен лимит, запрещающий автоматическое обновление Windows. Для начала получения обновление и их последующей установки лимит необходимо снять.
Шаг 1. Перейдите в меню «Пуск» и нажмите на «Параметры».
Шаг 2. Выберите раздел «Сеть и Интернет» → «Беспроводная сеть».
Шаг 3. Переведите переключатель «Задать как лимитное подключение» в неактивное положение.
3. Проверьте параметры групповой политики
С большой долей вероятности первые два способа вновь позволят вам получать обновления для своего компьютера под управлением Windows. Однако если этого не произошло, «копнуть» необходимо еще глубже. В сторону групповой политики системы.
Шаг 1. Нажмите комбинацию клавиш Win + R, введите в открывшемся окне команду gpedit.msc и нажмите Enter.
Шаг 2. В открывшемся окне управления локальной группой политики перейдите выберите раздел «Конфигурация компьютера» → «Административные шаблоны» → «Компоненты Windows» → «Центр обновления Windows».
Шаг 3. Дважды щелкните на параметр «Настройка автоматического обновления» в правой части утилиты.
Шаг 4. Поставьте галочку на пункте «Не задано».
Шаг 5. Нажмите «Применить» для сохранения изменений.
4. Проверьте файл hosts
Еще одной причиной по которой Windows не может загрузить последние обновления может являться блокировка серверов Microsoft в файле hosts. Проверить его очень просто.
Шаг 1. Перейдите в папку WindowsSystem32driversetc.
Шаг 2. Откройте файл hosts в любом текстовом редакторе, запущенном от имени администратора.
Шаг 3. Проверьте наличие в тексте файла hosts строчек, содержащих названия «windows» и «microsoft». Если такие есть, удалите их.
Шаг 4. Сохраните обновленный файл hosts.
