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.

    Unfortunately I don't  speak or write in anything other than English (America)  and if there is a translator don't know how to use it 

    It's Finnish man! Geez use the damn Translator!

    She's asking  why stop BITS if it's already stopped and she can't look it up in Finnish because of the interpretation of the search she is using,google or bing.She didn't say.

    A better fix until it HAPPENS AGAIN is to just refresh the OS,keep or don't keep your files!!! :P

    No need to mess with the registry,one typo and you have a BRICK on your hands! Quick fix use an .iso or Disk for Windows 10,no more brick either! :P Why all this BS do this do that when the problem obviously hasn't been fixed at all by MS.It only gets temporarily fixed with the next update!

    This should have been solved YEARS AGO!!!

    Now to let Her know about a better solution than that registry crap. Yes I used google translator!

    It works well enough to get the gist of what your trying to convey! ;)

    The links in the article are no longer active as the article is three years old. One wonders why it is still posted, as helpful as it might have been back in the day

    These steps did the trick for me. I needed to reinstall the .NET framework on a new Windows 10 laptop. Kept getting the dreaded Error 1935 when attempting to install apps like QuickBooks and Office 2010. When trying to turn off and reinstate the .NET framework features, I would get error code 0x80071A90. I ran the Windows Update Troubleshooter in this article, it returned HELPMSG 2182. I then disabled MacAfee anti-virus and stopped/started the services as describe above. I was able to remove and reinstall the .NET framework and get QuickBooks to install. I have been attempting to solve this issue for over two weeks now - thank you!!
