    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.

    :)

    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!

    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 !
