0x8007041D – 2147023843 - ERROR_SERVICE_REQUEST_TIMEOUT
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion
You receive a "0x8007041D" error when you visit the Windows Update Web site
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;902322
If the above is not the case - this can happen when the server is extremely busy. Try again later.
Other thoughts if the update fails when you try at a later date:
If this is not the case then check in the Event Viewer to see if there is any specific errors
regarding services
Start/Run/Eventvwr.msc

<snip> In my case it was wups.dll in
C:\WINDOWS\system32\SoftwareDistribution\Setup\Ser viceStartup\wups.dll\5.8.0.2469 folder. After
removing this file, windowsupdate works great.

Hi,
If the things in TaurArian's post didn't apply or work, it is most likely a COM+ issue.
First, verify that the "COM+ Event System" service is not disabled or not functioning:
Press Start and Run, and then run this command:
services.msc
Locate the "COM+ Event System" entry, and double click on it. Startup type should be set to
"Manual", and if the service is not already running, press the Start button to see if it starts
successfully.
If the steps above where ok, see if the steps in this previous post fixes the problem (applies to
WinXP as well):
