    Windows Update service missing 0x80070424 reg fix Update invalid registry key


    This Reg edit fix worked for me but only by making separate reg files since I kept getting an invalid registry key.


    So each file will need the Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 text on top.

    So copy this one first [below] and import it from the registry editor under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv] in order for it to work. If you like to donate or show some love cash app: [COLOR=rgba215, 57, 0, 1]$jfonseca79 [/COLOR]

    Also if you like I can export my registry file and email it to you just let me know.

    File#1 - Copy to notepad then change extension .txt to .reg, if you dont see .txt, open a folder and go to "View and select "Filename Extensions" or make sure it's checked. Also import in order from file1 to 6.


    Thanks,

    Your friendly neighborhood - Spiderman

    Windows Update service missing 0x80070424 reg fix Update invalid registry key 29c34fb1-6521-4aff-8548-fa7472fde658.png


    And unable to update windows 10-

    There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x80070424)

    For the info I tried the most of the online solutions... nothing works.

    BITS service is running and in registry Windows update components are missing.

    Windows Update service missing 0x80070424 reg fix Update invalid registry key

    Windows Update Error 0x80070424

    I upgraded, fresh install (option 2 from the installation app, erase app's preserve personal data), from v1803 to v1909 (OS Build 18363.476), to get rid of the completely intractable Windows Update Error 0x80070424.

    I, of course, am still getting the Windows Update Error 0x80070424. I've tried every one of the Microsoft Troubleshooters. I've created restore points and tested all the available registry edits that I could find online. Zero luck so far.

    ANY and ALL help at this point would be greatly appreciated. I'm contemplating a backup, wipe and install, after backing up all my drivers of course.

    As a side note I've contacted Microsoft directly and on the forums, and have received any helpful suggestions.

    Edit: Latest Windows Update Troubleshooter, downloaded directly from Microsoft, reports that it has fixed the errors. It has not, in fact, fixed anything.

    Edit: I think I have a clue as to part of the problem;


    Windows Update service missing 0x80070424 reg fix Update invalid registry key [​IMG]


    I fixed the missing Windows Update Service with the following command;
    sc create wuauserv DisplayName= "Windows Update" binpath= "C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs -p" Start= delayed-auto depend= RpcSs

    (Thanks to Windows Ninja!!! He has a video up on the problem at)


    Of course, this being Windows 10, this means attempting to run Windows Update generates a new and improved error code;

    Windows Update Error 0x80080005
    And I'm off to do more research...

    - - - Updated - - -

    As an update to my previous post;
    Known and Resolved issues for Windows 10 Nov. 2019 Update version 1909

    My next bit of luck was to find the following command, which recreates the "Windows Update" service by passing some parameters to svchost and wuauserv.dll;

    sc create wuauserv DisplayName= "Windows Update" binpath= "C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs -p" Start= delayed-auto depend= RpcSs

    I then had to manually re-add wuauserv back to my registry - no idea where it went or how it got deleted, but it was gone.
    The following video shows how to add it via regedit;


    I found the following info at Microsoft, discussing the contents of the registry file needed for wuauserv to work;
    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...c-5adc7036ed32

    I got Windows Update up and running... until I rebooted. I found that I had to re-enter the command that starts "sc create wuauserv..." then reapply the registry edit, as it was again missing from my registry, and check that wuauserv, bits, cryptSvc
    and msiserver were all running, and then Windows Updates would run properly.

    Anyone with any information as to how to make the changes permanent, stop the registry key for wuauserv from being deleted, it would be immensely helpful!
