Hi,

See if reinstalling the Windows Update Agent using the standalone
installer solves the problem.

Download location for WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=43264

If it says "Install is not needed since Windows Update Agent is
already installed.", run the exe with the command line switch
/wuforce, like this:

WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe /wuforce


And a fyi:

Please post WSUS related issues to the newsgroup dedicated to WSUS:

microsoft.public.windows.server.update_services
