    Windows Update service is set to manual: problem?


    While looking in services, I noticed that Windows Update is set to manual. This might have been indirectly caused by me because I don't want device drivers to be automatically installed which might break my system. But does a manual setting imply that I never receive security updates? What exactly is the difference between automatic and manual in this context?

    :)

    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.

    Windows Update service is set to manual: problem?

    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
