I noticed I havent been getting updates for about 2 months now. My PC is legit for starters, I saw that as a possible problem on this forum. I get this error code when I check the DL update history Error Code: 0x80246008 which refers to the BITS. I tried to manually start this like i found by using services.msc. Once I try to start it I get this error code
could not start the background intelligent transfer service on local computer error 126: the specified module could not be found
So now I dont know where to go from here. Can anyone help??
after i did this, I rebooted, then went into Run: typed in services.msc then clicked "backround intelligent transfer service" and clicked "start" and she started running again. I am updating as we speak.
Thanks for checking back on me.
