🔒 Closed Recommended fix for disabled Windows Update.

[Kristian G]

I got a Windows 10 product key last year from this site.
Now I'm trying to update some apps, but it's giving me an error (please see attached photos).
Tried some troubleshooting steps I found for this but it doesn't help.
Tried updating it thru Services, but it says "Access Denied".
Are there other ways to fix this?

it seems that you dont have the administrative privilege to activate the windows update or your windows copy has permanently disabled the windows update feature

I have checked, I'm logged in as Admin.
If the copy has permanently disabled update, do I need to install a new one? O r should I just buy a new product key?

no need to buy a new key, just re-install your windows with the same key and along the process, you will be asked (cortana) on update and security preference and toggle it to allow... then if possible, update your windows 10 to the latest build... if you are annoyed with the win update, my way of stopping it is by using group policy editor, not windows services or pause update....

you're not the admin in the local group maybe

check first on the start menu if there's something third party software that can block update permanently
