Windows 10: wuauserv service stuck on starting?

Trying to update the computer so I can use the Xbox pass for 1 dollar for 3 months to try out outer worlds.

Using the update assistant always blue screens when it restarts with Driver PNP watchdog.

Not sure what to do. Been trying a lot of stuff.

Anyone had this problem?

Cannot stop wuauserv service(windows update service)

Trying for 3rd time to install the Windows 10 anniversary update on an older Satellite and got stuck not downloading or installing the update.

Same problem as many others from Microsoft Community: Windows Update stuck; general solution is to stop Update Service ([bits &] wuauserv, and optionally many more operations) and restart it. Also, as others, could not stop wuauserv;

...

The Windows Update service is stopping...........................

The Windows Update service could not be stopped.

C:\Windows\system32>net stop wuauserv

The service is starting or stopping. Please try again later.

...

BUT NOTHING RESOLVED WHY wuauserv COULD NOT BE STOPPED. As suggested in
Windows 10 update stuck at 0%, changed wuauserv to automatic mode in Services and after a lot of time and restarts I got the anniversary update 1607!

 

wuauserv ( windows update service) could not be started. Error in starting wuauserv service

I was trying to resolve windows update error 0x80080005 and found a solution which says to stop first the wuauserv service but when i tried to do so in cmd I got :

system32>net start wuauserv

the wuauserv service could not be started

A system error has occured

System error 2 has occured

System cannot find the file specified

How to start it?

because the solution I want to try to resolve 0x80080005 demands to stop it first.

 

Command: net stop wuauserv says service is starting or stopping

Hi ! I had some issues with windows update so I looked up some solutions and the one with running commands in cmd is only one but when I run the command: net stop wuauserv , it says the service is starting or stopping and same case is with command : net
start wuauserv.

I have also tried the troubleshooter and trying to start the service from the list of services but the start stop are disabled and it shows as Stopping.

Please Help !
