"Jay Seravalli",
It may be referring to the service instead of the component in the control
panel.
Conventions:
- In these instructions, keys on the keyboard are wrapped, such as: Type:
cmd <Enter> means type the three letters cmd and then press <Enter>.
- Combinations such as <Ctrl>+<S> mean to hold the <Ctrl> while then
pressing the <S>.
1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type services.msc <Enter>
4. Click OK or type the <Enter> key
5. In the Services window, look for Background Intelligent Transfer Service
6. Double-click on Automatic Updates
7. In the middle of the Properties window, make sure the Startup type is set
to "Automatic"
8. Just below the Startup type, verify that the Service status is set to
"Started"
9. If it is not, click the Start button, and wait for the service to start.
Verify this starts.
10. Close the Properties window
11. Repeat steps 5-9 with the Background Intelligent Transfer Service
service, but make sure this is set to either "Manual" or "Automatic"
12. Close the Services window
Let us know how this goes.
Sincerely,
Pat Walters [MSFT]
