windows 10 update window closes immediately

this, i have tested on the 8th of August 2017.

when you launch the windows update window, it immediately closes. any amount of sfc and dism won’t help you. here is what i found on microsoft forum and it worked.

the following services should be started:

1. Windows Update
2. Background Intelligent Transfer Service
3. Cryptographic Services
4. Update Orchestrator Service for Windows Update

to stop from the command line, launch the CLI with run as admin and run the following commands:

net stop wuaserv
net stop bits
net stop cryptsvc
net stop usosvc

to start the services:

net start wuaserv
net start bits
net start cryptsvc
net start usosvc

voila. the update is back in action. thanks to THBax856 on this thread.
