Can you send me your logs?
In the mean time, if you look in your C:\Windows\System32
folder, you should see two files starting with Wu10Man_
. Remove that prefix and then restart Wu10Man. That should allow the services to be reconfigured.

Unfortunately I use Wu10Man directly without unzipping so the log recording the process of disabling Windows Update cannot be found. But I have the lastest log below and I hope it can be helpful.

It seems that besides the two Wu10Man_
prefixed files (Wu10Man_wuaueng.dll
and Wu10Man_WaaSMedicSvc.dll
), there already exist wuaueng.dll
and WaaSMedicSvc.dll
. Do I need to delete the two Wu10Man_
files directly?
BTW, I have trouble when I rename/delete the Wu10Man_
prefixed files because the system says that I need the priviledge provided by TrustedInstaller.

Can you try to disable and reenable the services and send me the logs from that run?
If the non-Wu10Man files already exists, that means something already put them back. Not sure what that process might have been. But in that case, it is likely the services are running. You should be able to check this in the Services manager. Though I would expect Wu10Man to also show them as running.

I have disabled and reenabled it, and the log is here. The log looks really normal.

I still cannot find Windows Update
in the services manager and cannot start WaaSMedicSvc
either.
Is it possible that the non-Wu10Man files exist because I tried to fix Windows Update by the command sfc /scannow
before ?
from wu10man.
Hhmm...nothing in the logs would indicate any sort of error. It's possible that sfc could have put things in an odd state, though I can't imagine anything removing the Windows Update service.
When you open the Services control, do you see the Windows Update and Windows Update Medic Service?
from wu10man.
They are not shown in the list and that's what we are talking about 😂
BTW my windows version is Windows 10 Pro 1903, and I hope it can help a little.

What is at this registry key on your system?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv
from wu10man.
wuauserv
doesn't exist under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
in the registry.
from wu10man.
That's kind of what I figured was going on and what I was fearing.
For the immediate fix, I'm including a zip of a wuauserv reg file. You will need to backup your registry file, merge this file in, and then reboot. That should restore Windows Update.
wuauserv.zip
As food for thought, Wu10Man does not delete that key from the registry. I find it unlikely that sfc did it either. Something like CCleaner or other registry repair software might have done it though. Many of them look for registry keys that reference files that don't exist. Since Wu10Man does rename the main file, it might have identified this as a deprecated key and removed it. It's also possible, though unlikely, that an anti-virus/malware tool did it, but they usually don't check if keys are valid, just if they fall into the realm of malware. There's also the slight chance that you do have some form of virus or malware on your system. Some of them do go to rather drastic lengths to stop you from getting Windows Defender updates which does come through the Windows Update service.
from wu10man.
I have merged it and rebooted, but it doesn't seem to work. Windows Update still is not in the list of Wu10Man and service manager.
from wu10man.
However, I disabled and reenabled WaaSMedicSvc in Wu10Man and rebooted, now Windows Update is back! It also appears in the list of service manager. Thanks very much.
One last question is the WaaSMedicSvc still cannot start even if it is enabled in Wu10Man. 😂
from wu10man.
Glad everything is working again.
The WaaSMedicSvc is pretty well locked down by Windows. It's a hard thing to get running correctly and I'm not sure that you as a user can even run it from the Services window. On the plus side, it's also not a vital part of Windows Update. All it does is check the Windows Update service and re-enable it if it's been turned off and affect some minor repairs. It shouldn't stop Windows Update from running.
Out of curiosity, what happens when you try to start it?
from wu10man.
As before, the error message still is "the system cannot find the file specified" when I try to start WaaSMedicSvc. 😂
from wu10man.
blargh...Do you have the file WaaSMedicSvc.dll
in C:\Windows\System32
?
from wu10man.
Yes, I have WaaSMedicSvc.dll
in C:\Windows\System32
.
from wu10man.
Sorry for not getting back to you. I had a long weekend away. Were you able to resolve teh WaaSMedicSvc issue?
from wu10man.
I didn't pay attention to it the other day. However, WaaSMedicSvc
is running now. 😂 Thanks!
from wu10man.
Glad to year it!
