Windows Error 1083 Automatic Upadates Service won’t start

Written by admin

This error is usually caused by a missing entry in the data value of the “netsvcs” registry key. To find it run Regedit and browse to;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Svchost
In the right panel select “netsvcs” and double click it to view the data, you will see a list of services this executable can start if “wuauserv” is not listed add it and close Regedit.
You will need to restart the PC to bring the new entries into play but your Automatic Updates should now start.
