Follow the exact steps that are provided below: Do not miss out any:
Perform these steps leaving the svchost crash dialog open.

the open box and click OK.

Profile. If not, please click the Enable button to enable it.
5. Click on the tab "General "; make sure the "Startup Type" is
"Automatic". Then please click the button "Start" under "Service
Status" to start the service.

Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)
================================ NEXT ================================
Re-register Windows Update components and Clear the corrupted Windows
Update temp folder
1. Click on Start and then click Run,
2. In the open field type "REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL" (without quotation
marks) and press Enter.
3. When you receive the "DllRegisterServer in WUAPI.DLL succeeded"
message, click OK.
4. Please repeat these steps for each of the following commands:
REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL
REGSVR32 WUAUENG1.DLL
REGSVR32 ATL.DLL
REGSVR32 WUCLTUI.DLL
REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL
REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL
REGSVR32 WUWEB.DLL
After the above steps are finished reboot.
Since temporary folder of Windows Update may be corrupted. We can
refer to the following steps to rename this folder
1. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the
following command in the opened window.
net stop WuAuServ
2. Click Start, Run, type: %windir% and press Enter.
3. In the opened folder, rename the folder SoftwareDistribution to
SDold.
4. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the
following command in the opened window.
net start WuAuServ
If having a problem with renaming the file named SofwareDistribution -
'Error Renaming File or Folder , Cannot rename SofwareDistribution:
Acces is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and
that it is not curently in use'
When you're modifying the properties of the Automatic Updates (aka
wuauserv) service, change the startup type from 'Automatic' to
'Manual.' Then reboot. The effect is that the service doesn't start at
all on bootup, so there's no need for the net stop command. After all
is said and done, recommend changing the startup type for that service
back to 'Automatic.'.
