Windows automatic updates reset back to manual on every reboot

[Keithinlv]

Hi all,

Operating Windows 7 and having a problem with my Windows automatic update setting. I turn it on to automatically update then the next time I turn my computer on it once again sends me a message stating I need to turn it on. Happens everytime I reboot or turn on my computer. Have checked for malaware and a virus with nothing coming up. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. Keithinlv

Looks like some software is changing it back on every restart. See if you can identify the software.

Else, start in Safe Mode, change the Windows Updates settings, Apply them and restart.

See if it works.
