Auto Update not working.

Question

Just installed Windows 7 yesterday and tried to Auto Update but NG. When I run Windows Update Diagnostic I receive an error code of 0x8E5E006B, service is not running. Tied several times without success. After searching the Web and Microsoft, I see this question has been coming up. Now just by chance I noticed that dispite putting in the Unlock key that Windows did not activate. I thought it was done at key entry. Could this be the simple answer. (Just holding off untill I am satisfied with my hard drive)

Answer 1

Click Start

Type: CMD, from the results, right click CMD

Click 'Run as Administrator'

At the Command Prompt, type: sfc /scannow

This will check for any integrity violations

Restart your system and try again.

Answer 2

Windows 10 auto updates not working code 0x80073712.  I have tried the above as it is the only info I can find and it does not work, also tried in safe mode and the same result as follows: "Windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation" any help to resolve this long term issue would be appreciated.

Answer 3

Thank you for the info. My indexing (Windows Search) was not working (Index not build) and giving me the error 0x8E5E006B. I have applied the sfc /scannow and it works after reboot.

Thank you

Answer 4

Thanks for a quick response. Ran sfc /scannow and Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and was unable to fix them. The log it created is big.

Restarted and my problems were gone. Thanks for the help.
