Yeah, but what do you do if you don't know how to enter this?

Answer 4

If you get this error:

The Windows Update service could not be stopped.

Open Task Manager’s Services tab, find wuauserv (Windows Update), and edit 12345 below to its PID:

taskkill /f /pid 12345

Then retry:

net start wuauserv
