    Hi,

    Pls check out:

    After applying the REG files, restart Windows. Also, make sure that the "Update Orchestrator Service" service exists in the Services console. If it's missing, restore the service by running this REG file (Src page).

    Could you first try the Windows Update troubleshooter:
