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.

    Chào mọi người.

    Tôi đã chỉ quản lý để giải quyết vấn đề này, không thể tìm thấy bất kỳ giải pháp trên Internet sau nhiều ngày tìm kiếm, kiểm tra và thất bại, vì vậy tôi chia sẻ nó ở đây trong trường hợp ai đó đang ở trong tình huống tương tự. Tôi hy vọng nó không phải là chống lại bất kỳ chính sách làm như vậy.

    Phiên bản: Windows 10 Home/Pro x64 1803

    Vấn đề: thiếu dịch vụ Windows Update, như là kết quả của việc xóa (SC xóa wuauserv). Stupid hành động stupid, tôi biết, nhưng trong Home Edition tôi đã ra khỏi ý tưởng để tránh cập nhật tự động không có GPO.

    Chạy Services. msc không hiển thị dịch vụ Windows Update. Trong regedit phím [HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv] không tồn tại hoặc trống.

    Windows Store Cập Nhật và tải xuống cũng hiển thị lỗi

    lỗi: 0x80070424 khi cố gắng làm mới Cập Nhật theo cách thủ công

    0x80070006 sau khi khôi phục sai. reg

    Khắc phục sự cố Cập nhật Windows, cả trong cài đặt Windows hoặc https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10164, không chạy. Những người cuối cùng cũng bao gồm việc chạy:

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

    Tôi đã cố gắng sử dụng một. reg có sẵn trực tuyến để phục hồi các dịch vụ, nằm ở nơi này: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/57567-restore-default-services-windows-10-a.html. Dịch vụ đã trở lại nhưng tôi có sau đó 0x80070006 lỗi. Nó có thể là do là một phiên bản Windows khác hoặc sớm.

    Tôi hỏi một người bạn với một phiên bản 1803 chuyên nghiệp (chúng tôi cũng sử dụng các ngôn ngữ khác nhau để cài đặt và chạy Windows) để xuất khẩu services\wuauserv của mình đăng ký. Tôi nhập nó, khởi động lại, và Cập Nhật của tôi đang trở về. Tôi thành thật hy vọng nó có thể giúp một ai đó ra khỏi đó. May mắn nhất nếu bạn cần phải sử dụng nó.

    Chúc vui vẻ

    Họ

    Làm việc nhập khẩu đăng ký như bình thường: sao chép tất cả các văn bản dưới dòng trong Notepad hoặc một trình soạn thảo văn bản, lưu nó, thay đổi extesnsion để. reg và chạy nó. Chấp nhận cảnh báo bảo mật và khởi động lại.
