I have been trying for several days now to get Windows Update to work, but I keep receiving the same message, that "Windows cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running. You may need to restart the computer."
I have Windows 7 - Win7 64-bit, and Internet Explorer 64-bit. My security program is Avast! free antivirus program 7.0.1474
I have repeatedly restarted my computer. I have made every effort to be sure that my Wondows Update > Change Settings is correctly set:
So I can't request updates, and the system appears to be unable to defrag.
How do I get the "service" to start running again? I have followed the instructions that were posted by Microsoft Support's Halima S., and both methods failed.
What, exactly, do I have to do now? Because this has gotten very old, very fast.

I have repeatedly restarted my computer. I have made every effort to be sure that my Wondows Update > Change Settings is correctly set:
- Install updates automatically (recommended)
- Install new updates: Every day, at 4:00 AM
- Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates
- Allow all users to install updates on this computer
So I can't request updates, and the system appears to be unable to defrag.
