This should do the trick: (Props to whomever wrote it, it wasn't me). If that doesn't work, google 'Dail-a-fix', it has an option to reset automatic updates as well (Although, I think it does the same things in this script...) rem ******************************* FIXWSUS.CMD ************************************* net stop wuauserv regsvr32 /s wuapi.dll regsvr32 /s wups.dll regsvr32 /s wuaueng.dll regsvr32 /s wucltui.dll regsvr32 /s msxml3.dll c: cd %windir%\SoftwareDistribution rd /s/q DataStore mkdir DataStore rd /s/q Download mkdir Download net start wuauserv rem Fixes problem with client machines not showing up on the server due to imaging method reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate /v AccountDomainSid /f reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate /v PingID /f reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate /v SusClientId /f cls @echo Triggering detection after resetting WSUS client identity net stop "Automatic Updates" net start "Automatic Updates" wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow echo susid set to unique>c:\wsusfix.txt

I understand what Leif is saying, it's one of the most irritating things about Windows Update to me. Used to be, that when you had an update available, the icon would show in the taskbar, and stay there until you did something with it. Now, it sometimes shows when an update is being downloaded, and then disappears. Extremely annoying, imo.

The other day I needed it and started it up again. Now, when I want to turn it off, it is showing me that there are pending updates that will be installed when I click on "Shut off". However, there is no Update icon in the systray, so I cannot review what updates are pending. How can I fix this? Google gives me thousands of hits on missing icon, but not what I am looking for. Happy New Year to ya'll. Leif Leif T. Wahlberg IT Consultant & Ancient Pilot Mob: +886-932-147 774 +1-206-388-8744 Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] No virus found in this incoming message.
