Windows update services is in stopping state
Question
Team,
I believe restart server does not fix.
Please help with suggestions.
I found to use below command
taskkill /f pid “pidno”
But I seen that there are many services with same pid no and not sure whether we can use in prod server

You can try doing it as Jitesh mentioned
That won’t harm the device
It’s good troubleshooting step
So killing the services using pid is not recommended. Am I right ?
I need to check for latest ssu and check event logs
You can’t find out the reason for this Windows Update service …. you might need to install the latest SSU or something in the event log etc might give you some clue
No I got from task manager.
I ll try this.
So post this i need to use taskkill command ?
Hello, Had you run the following command with administrator privileges to check the PID.
sc queryex wuauserv
I ran the command and found the pid id.
Can I run below command now
Taskkill pid “pid no” /f
Since there are multiple services with same pid. Will it harm the server.
