Restart the computer, and then run Windows Update again. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. When I try to update windows, it tells me the service is not running and I may need to restart my computer.

I rebooted and got the same result. I checked the services and the update service and BITS show to be running as normal. The laptop had been turned off and not connected to the internet for more than a year. Can anyone help me with this problem? This thread is locked. Viewed 31k times. This is fine most of the time but it's a bit of a nuisance to start them all separately. Could someone show me how to write a batch file or something similar to start all the services?

Well you can write a batch file like net start "Service Name" There should be a way to dependency link the services together also, so when one starts all the others will too. Improve this answer. For this question, 'sc' is the better method as it starts the service asynchronously, moving onto the next batch command.
