Service registration is missing or corrupt

I guess I should have said that I'm running windows 8.1, and am trying to update windows 10.  So I can download 10 thankyou.

From recently I can't update windows and I ran MS Fix it Center and it shows that service registration is missing or corrupt.

how do I fix it so I can update my windows

    If you're running Win 10, then right click on the Windows symbol bottom left corner, and click 'Control Panel' . Now click 'Troubleshooting' . Click 'Hardware and sound' . Click 'Background Intelligence Transfer Service' , then click 'Next' .

    Now go back to Control Panel and click 'System and Security' . Click 'Windows Update' and click '

Next' .

   That oughta do it.

I've tried this solution, as well as all the others provided, and none would work for me.  What I ended up doing was going to Microsoft, downloading the Windows 10 files to do a new install, and creating a DVD to reinstall Windows 10. 

The beauty of this procedure is that, with Windows 10, you don't have thirty or forty updates to do, after a new install, like with previous versions of Windows.

Now that I have a DVD with the Windows 10 media for a complete install, I'll do the same if I start experiencing update issues, again.

Many thanks. I'll try that nd let you know if it works for me.
