Windows Update Service and other services are not running?????????Need help

Guys, i just found out that the windows update service and many other services are not running. I currently have Windows 7............Do i need to format it and install once more... When i turn on the updates , it says " Windows update cannot currently check for updates , because the service is currently not working. You may need to restart your computer." Some other services like Background Intelligent Transfer Service are also not running. Someone Please Help.

Open an elevated command prompt and type this -
sfc /scannow
Keep the Windows 7 setup DVD/flash drive handy.

can you turn on '"Background Intelligent Transfer Service" ?

No bro. When i go to the registry there is no BITS.

write click on "computer" then click "manage".click on "srevices and applications" and click on 'services". There will an option "Background Intelligent Transfer Service". Try to turn it on by double clicking on it. Then start windows update serivce from the same menu

WTH has happened now..........I did what was told by Vignesh B , everything went fine, when it asked to restart , i restarted. But after logging in , when i right click , it doesnt come. when i click start button, it doesnt appear, when i go to My computer using shortcut , no disk appears ........................ But i can play games..........

try to restart once more.

That's seriously odd. That command only verifies the integrity of Windows file. Can you execute in once more?

press win + R, type "services.msc", select Background Intelligent Transfer Service and right click -> start.

not even the title and address bar ??

if these^ are appearing, then open any folder (if you can) and click on tools ->Folder Options ->click "show hidden Files and Folders"

Hmm, try using repair option after booting from the setup DVD. It kind off does the same job.
Btw am sorry.

I didn't expect it to mess up your PC.

No , you were right . I thought of that before itself , But didnt knew those commands . I knew Windows 7 Had a feature like that . But , it doesnt matter ....Cheers !!! Now I have to search for the CD ....

^^ you going for Reinstall ??

Yes, I think that is The best option . Wt do you guys say.

M

not actually the best cuz you'll have to install all of your softwares again :wink:

Try repair. If it fails then reinstall.

Even I would say, do a repair first(it would save you a lot of time if its successful).
Otherwise the re-install option is always there as a fallback.

Will do the repair now and if it fails will do complete install. will post the results after doing that.

Guys, Thanks for your Amazing Help . Repair option didnt work , so Installed a Fresh Windows 7 Ultimate and now its working fine. The BITS and Windows update service is running and some games which wont run before is running now..... Thanks Guys ...
