WSUS uses BITS to download updates from whatever upstream server you have. Not sure why Update Services would depend on BITS though. I assume that the Updates Service can start without BITS having started first.

This is a WSUS server, I'm guessing Update Services kicked off BITS, but why was there almost 12 hours from the time I chose manual, and why doesn't BITS list "Update Services" as being dependent on BITS?
