Windows Update Service: Manual (Triggered) Is that the same as Windows Update Medic Service

I am having issues downloading Windows updates (Feature update to Windows 10, version 1809 amd64 2019-03) where it just continues to initialize and downloads but then starts initializing again for hours. So I went to check the settings as posted below in
order to fix the issue:

• Restart the Windows Update Services: Open the Service Manager and ensure that they are Started and their Startup type is as follows:

1. Background Intelligent Transfer Service: Manual
2. Cryptographic Service: Automatic
3. Windows Update Service: Manual (Triggered)

#1 and #2 above are fine but I do not see "Windows Update Service: Manual (Triggered)" at all. Instead I see "Windows Update Medic Service" set to manual. Is that the same thing and if not- should I have a settings titled "Windows Update Service: Manual
(Triggered)" ? If yes, how to I find where I can add that missing setting into my laptop? Can that cause other issues?

Best,

Lee

 

Task Manager not running


I have added a new task to the ones already populated which I suppose were in Win7
The new task or the present tasks are not running as there is no entry in the history or
recently run file
are there other steps necessary to get the new task manager to start up ?
