Windows Update error 80070422

If you receive Windows Update error 80070422 while downloading updates, you might need to change the Windows Update service settings, and then restart the service.

To change or restart the Windows Update service

You must be logged on as an administrator to perform these steps.

1.         Open Administrative Tools by clicking the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type administrative tools, and then click Administrative Tools.

2.         Double-click Services.  If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

3.         Click the Name column heading to sort the names in reverse order. Find the Windows Update service, right-click it, and then click Properties.

4.         On the General tab, next to Startup type, make sure that Automatic is selected.

5.         Next to Service status, check to see if the service is started. If it is not, click Start.  If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Error codes this applies to:

There is no widows update in the name column under Services.  Where did it go?  I am concerned that there is virus or Trojan on my computer changing things with my virus software.

Dear Sir, While doing the following steps, during selection of Service, error code appears as " Service Cannot be started, because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it". Pl. suggest wether i have to re-boot the whole system or error code rectify with some inputs. Thanks & Regards, Pranav Mehta
