  1. Windows Update service missing 0x80070424 , Windows 10 Pro x64 1803 [Solved]


    Hi all.


    I've just managed to solve this issue, not being able to find any solution over the Internet after several days of search, test and fail, so I'm sharing it here in case somebody is in the same situation. I hope it is not against any policy doing so.


    Version: Windows 10 Home/Pro x64 1803

    Issue: Missing service Windows Update, as a result of deletion ( sc delete wuauserv ) . Stupid stupid action, I know, but in Home edition I was out of ideas to avoid automatic updates not having gpo.

    Running services.msc doesnt show the Windows Update service. In regedit the key[HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv] doesn't exist or is empty.

    Windows Store update and download also show errors

    error: 0x80070424 when trying to refresh updates manually

    0x80070006 after a wrong .reg recovery


    Windows update troubleshooter, both the one in the windows settings or https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10164 , fail to run. The last throubeshooter also includes running:


    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    sfc /scannow


    I tried using a .reg available online to recover the service, located at this place: https://www.windowsphoneinfo.com/threads/restore-default-services-in-windows-10.4974/ . The service was back but I have then the error 0x80070006. It might be due to being a different or early Windows version.


    I asked a friend with a Professional 1803 version (we also used different languages for install and run Windows) to export his services\wuauserv registry. I imported it, restarted, and my updates are back. I honestly hope it might help someone out there. Best luck if you need to use it.


    Cheers,

    Joseps





    Do the registry import as usual: copy all the text under the line in Notepad or a text editor, save it, change the extesnsion to .reg and run it. Accept the security warning and restart.

    Services missing after applying April 2018 Update (1803) to Windows 10

    Multiple customers have reached out to me because a Windows Service that I have made is missing after applying April 2018 Update (1803) to Windows 10.

    Some customers have also reported that other services are missing, like Cisco VPN client.



    I’m able to repro using the following:

    • Install Windows 10 Pro x64 version 1709 (Fall Creators Update) from MSDN.
    • Run the installer for my service, and verify that it’s in the service-list.

      I have also tried to manually create the service using SC / InstallUtil, with the same outcome.
    • Restart the machine.
    • (Re-)validate that the service exists, and that it works as intended.
    • Update the machine with the newest updates, including 1803 (April 2018 Update).
    • Restart the machine as part of the update.
    Result: The application-files still exist, however, the service is no longer registered.



    Running the installer again, or re-creating the service manually using SC/InstallUtil works.



    Have Microsoft put new rules in place for services or what’s happening?

    The service itself is a very basic service with a valid digital signature.

    It is installed in the users local AppData-folder (%localappdata%).





    The following updates are applied in step 5:

    • Feature update to Windows 10, version 1803
    • Security update for Adobe Flash Player: June 7, 2018 [KB 4287903]
    • Definition Update for Windows Defender Antivirus [KB 2267602]
    • Update for Windows Defender antimalware platform [KB 4052623]
    • Definition Update for Windows Defender Antivirus [KB 2267602]
    • Remove specific prevalent malware with Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool [KB 890830]

    Windows 10 1803 update issues(Solved!)

    How was this solved? Maybe it could help someone else, since there are numerous various problems with 1803 (and yes, I know many others have had no problems, as well).
