The BITS won't let me start it. It says windows could not start it on the
local computer and if this is a non-microsoft service to refer to the
specific error code -2147024894. I mean I can't get my windows update so I'm
trying to do what you said and having problems with this.

Click Start, select Run, then type in: SERVICES.MSC
Make sure the "Remote Procedure Call (RPC)" is started and on automatic.

I'm experience the same problem. BITS will not start. RPC is running and set
to start automatically. All the previously mentioned DLLs have been
registered. BITS is registered in netsvcs.

0x80246008 WU_E_DM_FAILTOCONNECTTOBITS
A download manager operation failed because the download manager was
unable to connect the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS).


Please see: How to read the Windowsupdate.log file

Try another attempt at updating. If/when it fails, please post back and
include the below requested information -

1) The edition of Windows installed and it's Service Pack level
2) Copy and paste at least the last 50 or so lines of the
WindowsUpdate.log into your reply
3) What is the installed antivirus/security suite; is it's subscription
current; was any malware detected when the system was last scanned ?
4) Is a 3rd party firewall being used; if yes, what is it ?
5) How long this error has been occurring ?
