Windows Auto Update service is missing from SERVICES list....

Windows XP:

Run following command from the command prompt or run box under start: regsvr32 wuaueng.dll (after successful registration you should see Automatic Updates service listed - reboot computer just in case).



Microsoft has released official article on repairing Windows Update after Windows XP SP3 upgrade including their famous "Fix It For Me" feature: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144

However, I can honestly say I've never encountered any OS related problem Microsoft has been able to fix with their "Fix It For Me" feature... Just my personal experience though - you may get lucky.

Windows Vista / 7: Coming soon...
