Update code 0x80070424

Attempting to review update history. This is what I get. Also can't turn on
Automatic Updates

Hi Larry B.,

Give this a try and see if it solves the problem..........

Go to Start>Run and key in:
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
Click on OK or hit ENTER, wait a few seconds, then click on OK in the
RegSvr32 dialogue box.

Now, open the registry editor (Start>Run key in regedit then click on OK or
hit ENTER) and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\wuauserv
If you find a DeleteFlag value in the right-hand pane, right-click on it and
select Delete.

Now see if if you can successfully turn on Automatic Updates.



Regards,
