Service registration is missing or corrupt, Type NET HELPMSG 2182.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Hello, I have been following this problem on this site for a couple months now unsuccessfully trying the numerous suggested troubleshooting methods to fix this issue.  The following was my last effort, and it did NOT work.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I would like to inform you that this issue may occur due to Windows update is corrupt. I would recommend you to reset the windows update component manually. Resetting Windows Update Components will fix corrupt Windows Update Components and help you to install the Windows Updates quickly. Follow the below steps:

  1. Press Windows Key + X on the keyboard and then select “Command Prompt (Admin)” from the menu.
  2. Stop the BITS, Cryptographic, MSI Installer and the Windows Update Services. To do this, type the following commands at a command prompt. Press the “ENTER” key after you type each command.

                           net stop wuauserv

net stop cryptSvc

net stop bits

net stop msiserver

  1. Now rename the SoftwareDistribution and Catroot2 folder. You can do this by typing the following commands in the Command Prompt. Press the “ENTER” key after you type each command.

                          ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old

  1. Now, let’s restart the BITS, Cryptographic, MSI Installer and the Windows Update Services. Type the following commands in the Command Prompt for this. Press the ENTER key after you type each command.

                        net start wuauserv

net start cryptSvc

net start bits

net start msiserver

  1. TypeExit in the Command Prompt to close it and then restart the computer.

Note: Disable anti-virus program while installing Windows updates, if might detect some files as bug and the updates files might get corrupt during installation.

NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Thank you so much for the kind words . Windows 10 has given this old computer a little bit of new life . I noticed on there last update that some of my apps I keep pin to the bottom of my window weren't there when it finished updating . Yet t are there invisible and work just fine . After exploring some I see others have had the same experience . I expect with the next update this might be fixed . At any rate for a old guy at 71 this keeps my mind sharp and day a little more interesting  Best wishes to you and yours at this wonderful time of year . Just keep plugging away and God bless .Thanks again !

    ive been having various small issues with my home pc for a couple of weeks , which kind of  started  becoming a bit more noticeable ie running slowly , freezing etc the odd programme becoming erratic ,I had done the necessary basic steps to resolve the issues although I wasnt sure really what I was trying to repair ,with numerous searches online it  was becoming more confusing ,and I was reluctant to follow all the various ways forward as I didnt want to make the situation worse . luckily I stumbled upon your post which appears to have resolved the issues for now, [my pc not new so I am realistic that other problems may develop in the future ]   personally I think the various different scans that Microsoft provide is great it takes away the worry of trying to resolve an issue your self.   would just like to say thanks to the gentleman who added the very clear and concise instructions regarding a possible fix    kindest regards
