Need help with my windows - H3RR3S - 03-28-2019
Hello,
My Windows Update under Services is not running and whenever I try to run it I get the following error:
"Windows could not start the Windows Update service on local computer.
Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified"
Can someone please help me out

Are you running a pirated version of Windows? Some activation cracks remove or alter key system files and in doing so remove your ability to update because the cracker didn't want any Windows servers interacting with their version of the release.

It's an original version of Windows 10.

Bought? Legit serial? If these are true, call Microsoft tech support and I'm sure they'll be able to help you.

call Microsoft for this problem.

Fixed the problem, Windows wasn't updating by itself also wasn't Windows Updater running in services.
Fixed it by downloading the creation tool from Microsoft and updating it from there.

Is the Windows Update service running at the moment?

All good then.
If you have Issues with the Windows Update service, make sure the BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) Is running. This Is also used when downloading updates.
