Hi,
See if you find a registry value NoWindowsUpdate or
DisableWindowsUpdateAccess that is set to 1.
Start/Run ==> regedit.exe
Under the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion
\Policies\Explorer
delete the value "NoWindowsUpdate" if it exist.
Under the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion
\Policies\Windows Update
delete the value "DisableWindowsUpdateAccess" if it exist.
Under the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion
\Group Policy Objects\LocalUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Policies\Windows Update
delete the value "DisableWindowsUpdateAccess" if it exist.
If you did any changes, log off and on again.
If the above didn't help:
Do a registry search (in regedit.exe, be sure to have "My Computer"
selected when starting each search)) for registry values with name
NoWindowsUpdate
and
DisableWindowsUpdateAccess
and
NoAutoUpdate
and delete if found.
Note that if your computer is member of an Active Directory domain,
and this this is a policy set with Group Policy, the registry
values will re-appear at next GPO-refresh.
