Can't find the file Windows Update error list...

[Error number: 0x8DDD0018]


Windows Update cannot continue because a required service application is
disabled. Windows Update requires the following services:
Automatic Updates enables detection, downloading, and installation of
critical updates for your computer.
Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) enables faster, restartable
downloading of updates.
Event Log logs Windows Update events for troubleshooting. To ensure that
these services are enabled:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type services.msc and then click OK.
3. In the list of services, right-click the service name, and then click
Properties.
4. In the Startup type list, select Automatic.
5. Verify that the service status is started.

Hello Ladyprt,

It looks like part of the steps are missing. The steps should look like
this.

To resolve this problem, make sure that the Automatic Updates service and
the Background Intelligent Transfer Service are both enabled and started. To
do this, follow these steps:
1.. Click Start, and then click Run.
2.. In the Open box, type services.msc , and then click OK.
3.. In the list of services, right-click Automatic Updates, and then click
Properties.
4.. In the Startup type list box, select Automatic, and then click Apply.
5.. If the Service status is "Stopped", click Start.
6.. Click OK.
7.. In the list of services, right-click Background Intelligent Transfer
Service, and then click Properties.
8.. In the Startup type list, select Manual, and then click Apply.
9.. If the Service status is "Stopped", click Start.
10.. Click OK, and then quit Services.

Thank You
