Guys im having an issue with my windows 10 pc

At one point I disabled all updates for it, because I didnt want win10 updates anymore, but now I cant use the Xbox store anymore bcs it wont update lol

I cant get it all to start back up again.. Im not sure which steps I undertook. I tried going into services and starting everything back up from disables to automatic, and with the exception of wuauservices.msc I can get it all back up again, but this service wont start. Ive tried a lot of thing salready like sfc scannow and dism scan but they return no faults

Any help would be greatly appreciated

How did you disable windows updates? Sounds like you broke something.

Was it a registry edit or one of those "debloat" apps?

Probably a regedit with a youtube video showing you how to debloat windows

And yeah I probably broke something

In windows 10 update screen it also says your organization has disabled updates

If that means anything

open command prompt as admin

type "sc query wuauserv" and see what it says

Open Chris Titus Tool in Powershell.

Then go to the updates section and set it to default.
It seems you have set a script or registry that changes Group Policy to disable windows updates.

Well I did that, and rebooted, but I still cannot start wuauservices.msc and it returns an error ((((

Copy the error and paste it here. You can click on the error box, then ctrl+c and it will copy the text.

Me and Chatgpt fixed it

C:\WINDOWS\system32>reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Svchost" /v wusvcsHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Svchost wusvcs REG_MULTI_SZ WaaSMedicSvc

THAT'S IT.
You found the smoking gun.
Your wusvcs group is broken.
Right now it only contains:
<span>WaaSMedicSvc</span>
…but it should also include:
<span>wuauserv</span>
Because your Windows Update launches using:
<span>svchost.exe -k wusvcs -p</span>
If wuauserv is missing from the wusvcs service group, Windows launches the svchost group incorrectly and the service hangs with:
<span>1053 - The service did not respond...</span>
This EXACTLY matches your symptoms.

---

FIX IT

Open Admin CMD and run EXACTLY:
<span>reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Svchost" /v wusvcs /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d "WaaSMedicSvc\0wuauserv" /f</span>
You should get:
<span>The operation completed successfully.</span>"

And the Xbox app is finally installing <3

Thx winjer for that app too because it probably helped resetting some things back to normal <3
