Fix ERROR_SERVICE_DISABLED in Minutes

To fix ERROR_SERVICE_DISABLED fast, open PowerShell as administrator and use the Set-Service command to change the disabled service to Automatic or Manual. Then use Start-Service to launch it. Do this for Windows Update and BITS, restart your computer, and the error should disappear when you retry the task.

Steps

  1. Right-click the Start button and choose Terminal (Admin) or Windows PowerShell (Admin).
  2. Run Set-Service -Name wuauserv -StartupType Manual and press Enter.
  3. Run Set-Service -Name bits -StartupType Manual and press Enter.
  4. Run Start-Service -Name wuauserv to launch Windows Update.
  5. Run Start-Service -Name bits to launch BITS.
  6. Type Get-Service wuauserv, bits to confirm both show Running.
  7. Restart your PC and try the update again.

Common Problems

  • "Cannot find any service" message: Check the spelling of the service name and run the command again.
  • Execution is blocked or access denied: Close PowerShell and reopen it using Run as administrator.
  • Service shows Stopped after restart: Switch the startup type to Automatic and remove any cleanup tool that disables services.

Frequently Asked Question

Is PowerShell better than services.msc?
Both give the same result. PowerShell is just faster when you need to fix several services.

Will these commands harm my PC?
No. They only change how two standard Windows services start.

Does this fix 0x80070422 as well?
Yes. That code is simply how Windows Update shows this same error.
