Windows Update service missing 0x80070424 , Windows 10 Pro x64 1803 [Solved] / Error code 0x80070006 or 0x8008005

Hi all.

I've just managed to solve this issue, not being able to find any solution over the Internet after several days of search, test and fail, so I'm sharing it here in case somebody is in the same situation. I hope it is not against any policy doing so.

Version: Windows 10 Home/Pro x64 1803

Issue:    Missing service Windows Update, as a result of deletion  ( sc delete wuauserv ) . Stupid stupid action, I know, but in Home edition, I was out of ideas to avoid automatic updates not having gpo.

             Running services.msc doesnt show the Windows Update service. In Regedit the key[HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv] doesn't exist or is empty.

             Windows Store update and download also show errors

error:    0x80070424 when trying to refresh updates manually 

             0x80070006 after a wrong .reg recovery

Windows update troubleshooter, both the one in the windows settings or https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10164 , fail to run. The last troubleshooter also includes running:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth  sfc /scannow

I tried using a .reg available online to recover the service, located at this place: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/57567-restore-default-services-windows-10-a.html . The service was back but I have then the error  0x80070006.  It might be due to being a different or early Windows version.

I asked a friend with a Professional 1803 version (we also used different languages for install and run Windows) to export his services\wuauserv registry. I imported it, restarted, and my updates are back. I honestly hope it might help someone out there. Best luck if you need to use it.

Cheers,

Joseps

Do the registry import as usual: copy all the text under the line in Notepad or a text editor, save it, change the extension to .reg and run it. Accept the security warning and restart.

edit 24/12/2019, as per @k1nd3r suggestion I'm deleting an unnecessary blank right under the separation line :)

edit 16/02/2020, I missed writing down here that @k1nd3r also pointed out that the fix works in Win x64 v.1909 OSb 18363.535

edit 16/02/2020, as per  @木水- and later @Aharami reported, I am adding error code 0x80080005 here and in the title as a different one this fix might help with. Please credit them for pointing out.

edit 24/02/2020, I quote here @BogdanPurghel  : There is also a script, Reset-WindowsUpdate.ps1, available on technet.microsoft.  I'd suggest searching and trying for that if this fix doesn't work for you.

    Thank you Bogdan for your reply and extensive report. It means a lot.

    I wasn't aware of that script but it is great to have it pointed here, in case someone has no luck with this fix and needs to keep looking for help.

    I think Microsoft should just try to develop and incorporate these fixes that seem to work as proper official ones for each Code error issue, available directly in the main help resources. I guess they ar actually doing that, but maybe this particular problem hasn't reached the number to deserve a specific treatment. Windows has become a so huge thing these days, I guess there is an incredible number of issues to deal with ahead in the queue.

    As a fellow user and IT professional that has had to search a lot of information around the Internet and many times in this site, being able to share something has it's own value and reward as itself, and this feedback I'm receiving is just fantastic.

    I can't thank you enough, you all that have created a user here just to drop some feedback in this thread. You rock guys! :)

    Ao importar o arquivo com o texto colocado no bloco de notas e salvo como o nome fix.update.reg, os serviços de massas com erro com algo parecido como o arquivo não estão sendo um registro válido ou algo assim.

    Oi. Eu não falo português, esta é uma tradução do google.

    Você não pode usar o texto traduzido, o conteúdo do arquivo .reg que você está criando também traduzido partes do Windows não entende.

    Copie e cole uma versão original em inglês do texto.

    Convido todos para escrever aqui em inglês usando qualquer tradutor, pois é o idioma comum que todos entendemos.

    Boa sorte,

    Jose

    Inglês:

    Atenção. Evite usar o texto de um tradutor automático para colar no arquivo .reg, pois não funcionará. Use a versão original em inglês deste tópico para copiar e colar o conteúdo do arquivo, para que o Windows possa entender os comandos internos e criar o serviço.

    Felicidades!

    Bom dia e obrigado pela resposta,

    Eu importei de outro micro o registro e dessa vez consegui fazer com que o arquivo aparecesse no sistema mas o windows update insiste em não aparecer  no services.msc entao ainda nao consigo atualizar o meu windows. usando Windows update.

    English:

    Warning.  Avoid using the text coming from an automatic translator to paste into the .reg file, as it won't work. Use the original English version os this thread to copy and paste the contents of the file, so Windows can understand the commands inside and create the service.

    Cheers!

    Olá a todos.

    Acabei de resolver esse problema, não conseguindo encontrar nenhuma solução na Internet após vários dias de pesquisa, teste e falha, por isso estou compartilhando-a aqui caso alguém esteja na mesma situação. Espero que não seja contra nenhuma política que o faça.

    Versão: Windows 10 Home / Pro x64 1803

    Problema: Serviço ausente do Windows Update, como resultado da exclusão (sc delete wuauserv). Ação idiota estúpida, eu sei, mas na edição Home, eu estava sem ideias para evitar que atualizações automáticas não tivessem gpo.

                 A execução de services.msc não mostra o serviço Windows Update. No Regedit, a chave [HKLM \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ wuauserv] não existe ou está vazia.

                 A atualização e o download da Windows Store também mostram erros

    0x80070424 ao tentar atualizar as atualizações manualmente 

                 0x80070006 após uma recuperação .reg incorreta

    A solução de problemas de atualização do Windows, nas configurações do Windows ou https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10164, falha na execução. A última solução de problemas também inclui a execução:

    DISM.exe / Online / Imagem de limpeza / Restorehealth  sfc / scannow
    

    Tentei usar um .reg disponível on-line para recuperar o serviço, localizado neste local: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/57567-restore-default-services-windows-10-a.html. O serviço estava de volta, mas eu tenho o erro 0x80070006. Pode ser por ser uma versão diferente ou inicial do Windows.

    Pedi a um amigo com uma versão Professional 1803 (também usamos idiomas diferentes para instalar e executar o Windows) para exportar o registro services \ wuauserv. Eu o importei, reiniciei e minhas atualizações estão de volta. Eu sinceramente espero que possa ajudar alguém lá fora. Boa sorte se você precisar usá-lo.

    Felicidades,

    Joseps

    Importe o registro normalmente: copie todo o texto sob a linha no Bloco de notas ou em um editor de texto, salve-o, altere a extensão para .reg e execute-o. Aceite o aviso de segurança e reinicie.

    editar 24/12/2019, conforme a sugestão @ k1nd3r, estou excluindo um espaço em branco desnecessário logo abaixo da linha de separação :)

    editar 16/02/2020, senti falta de escrever aqui que o @ k1nd3rtambém apontou que a correção funciona no Win x64 v.1909 OSb 18363.535

    edite 16/02/2020, conforme @ 木 水 -e mais tarde @ Aharamirelatou, estou adicionando o código de erro 0x80080005 aqui e no título como um código diferente que esta correção pode ajudar. Por favor, credite-os por apontar.

    Hi all.

    I've just managed to solve this issue, not being able to find any solution over the Internet after several days of search, test and fail, so I'm sharing it here in case somebody is in the same situation. I hope it is not against any policy doing so.

    Version: Windows 10 Home/Pro x64 1803

    Issue:    Missing service Windows Update, as a result of deletion  ( sc delete wuauserv ) . Stupid stupid action, I know, but in Home edition, I was out of ideas to avoid automatic updates not having gpo.

                 Running services.msc doesnt show the Windows Update service. In Regedit the key[HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv] doesn't exist or is empty.

                 Windows Store update and download also show errors

    error:    0x80070424 when trying to refresh updates manually 

                 0x80070006 after a wrong .reg recovery

    Windows update troubleshooter, both the one in the windows settings or https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10164 , fail to run. The last troubleshooter also includes running:

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth  sfc /scannow
    

    I tried using a .reg available online to recover the service, located at this place: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/57567-restore-default-services-windows-10-a.html . The service was back but I have then the error  0x80070006.  It might be due to being a different or early Windows version.

    I asked a friend with a Professional 1803 version (we also used different languages for install and run Windows) to export his services\wuauserv registry. I imported it, restarted, and my updates are back. I honestly hope it might help someone out there. Best luck if you need to use it.

    Cheers,

    Joseps

    Do the registry import as usual: copy all the text under the line in Notepad or a text editor, save it, change the extension to .reg and run it. Accept the security warning and restart.

    edit 24/12/2019, as per @k1nd3r suggestion I'm deleting an unnecessary blank right under the separation line :)

    edit 16/02/2020, I missed writing down here that @k1nd3r also pointed out that the fix works in Win x64 v.1909 OSb 18363.535

    edit 16/02/2020, as per  @木水- and later @Aharami reported, I am adding error code 0x80080005 here and in the title as a different one this fix might help with. Please credit them for pointing out.
