    wuauserv and BITS won't stay started

    I just did as you suggested. I checked Windows Update and see that I got some antivirus definitions to download but it failed to install KB4467702. So I guess it can be considered a small victory. Now to forge on to find out why this update failed to
    install. Thank you Sarah, Sumit and you for your help and suggestions. p.s. I'd like to say that I tried Sarah's suggestion as well but haven't Sumit's as yet. I won't have time this weekend to try that. It may be that in order to get the failed install
    completed, I'll need to go a different route?

    wuauserv ( windows update service) could not be started. Error in starting wuauserv service

    I was trying to resolve windows update error 0x80080005 and found a solution which says to stop first the wuauserv service but when i tried to do so in cmd I got :

    system32>net start wuauserv

    the wuauserv service could not be started

    A system error has occured

    System error 2 has occured

    System cannot find the file specified

    How to start it?

    because the solution I want to try to resolve 0x80080005 demands to stop it first.

    How to start wuauserv file?

    Windows Update Error (0x80080005) and 'wuauserv' not starting

    Hi. I am not able to update my windows because of non-functional windows update service. Every time I run 'Check for updates', I get error (0x80080005). I tried suggested methods of stopping 'wuauserv', 'bits', 'cyrptsvc', 'msiserver' and starting them again
    but the 'wuauserv' won't start at all. Always throws in this error:

    The wuauserv service could not be started.

    A system error has occurred.

    System error 2 has occurred.

    The system cannot find the file specified.

    I tried windows update troubleshooter and 'sfc /scannow' too, but didn't work. I am running Windows 10 (Version 1909), OS build - 18363.657. I don't have any third party antivirus installed, just the Windows Defender. I ran cmd in 'Run as Admin' mode for
    all the above stated processes.

    Please help me out here. Thanks in advance!
