Windows 10: Automatic Update, error 0x80073712

Hi.

System details.
Intel i5-7600K
16GB RAM
X64
Windows 10 Pro
Version 1803
OS Build 17134.165
HDD 465GB only 100GB used

I am having an issue with the automatic download of KB4462919. I keep getting the following error code returned, 0x80073712.

Both KB4100347 and KB4456655 downloaded automatically without any issues.

I have tried the following fixes.

1) Stopped Windows update service and deleted the contents of Software Distribution Datastore and Downloads and then restarted Windows update service. No success.
2) Run all CHKDSK routines, no issues/problems detected.
3) Run the DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth routine. The following error was returned. 0x800f081F “Source files cannot be found”.
4) Run sfc/Scannow. No issues/problems detected.
5) Carried out a manual update from the Microsoft update catalogue. Still returns error code 0x80073712.
6) Run update Troubleshooter. This returned “Potential Windows Update Database error detected”. It did not offer to fix this.

Are there any other fixes I can try?

Thank you.

Kind Regards.

Roger.

Resolution Suggestion:

# To resolve this problem, make sure that BITS and the Automatic Updates service are started..

A simple solution but one that works in most circumstances!

1. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then click OK.

2. In the list of services, right-click Automatic Updates, and then click Properties.

3. In the Startup type list, click Automatic, and then click Apply.

4. If Service status is set to Stopped, click Start, and then click OK.

5. Right-click Background Intelligent Transfer Service, and then click Properties.

6. In the Startup type list, click Manual, and then click Apply.

7. If Service status is set to Stopped, click Start, and then click OK.

Vista Automatic Updating Error

I have had automatic updating set to update daily but recently it has alerted me that it has been turned off.

I open Windows Security Center and click Change Settings under Automatic Updating, it gives me two options, "Install Updates Automatically (recommended)" and "Let me choose".

First option clicked and it gives me an error window, "Security Center can't change your automatic updating settings." and gives the option to do it manually.

I open the window to manually change my settings, "Install updates automatically Every Day at 5:00 AM" is selected, I click OK yet Automatic Updating is still not on.

If I go to the Windows Update window and Check for Updates I receive an error stating:

Error(s) found: Code 8007042 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.

Basically my automatic updates are being disabled *Bang Head :banghead:, any way to fix this? Thank you.
