Hello,
It has been a few months since my windows updated. I noticed the lack of update, but just shrugged it off. A few days ago I noticed my GeForce Experience was not working in game, so I tried opening the program and it said there was a problem and to reboot. Rebooted, same thing. After Googling, I discovered one issue might be windows not being up to date, so I had a look in the settings. I have it start looking for updates, it apparently finds and tries to install them, but stops and says unable to install and gives this error message: 0x80070422
I opened my services.msc and saw windows update was disabled. Opened properties, changed the setting and clicked apply. "Access is denied". This is an admin account, I even ran as admin and same thing. I checked my task manager and found "wuauserv", which said windows update, was stopped. I attempted to start it and it said "the service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices."
I'm not sure what's going on, but this needs to be solved so I can get my GeForce working again. Turns out my NVIDIA control panel somehow uninstalled itself, and now I can't reinstall it, I assume because my computer isn't up to date.
