Windows 10: windows update medic services not listed is services

Hello I am using windows 11 and I`ve found that windows update medic services is not listed in my services application...What should I do and should I be worried

:)

 

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,

Can I disable windows update medic service? Is something bad happen after I disable Windows update medic service in regedit?

 

Windows Update Medic Service

You can.

But Windows Update Medic Service enables remediation and protection of Windows Update components. This means if Windows Update feature is facing issues in working, it will heal that and make sure your system keeps receiving Windows Updates. We don't recommend it to disable, if you want to keep receiving updates without any trouble.
