I frequently get the report "Self Update service is not running" (13042). I have looked in WSUS and it appears updates are all recent and OK. Is this Self update for the server only? I have looked at Windows Update on the server the last update (updates were installed) was 23rd Sept. which I would have thought was wrong. If I force a manual update (Go online...) it tells me only 2 optional updates are available.
If I go into the Console (Updates) and click "Change the software update settings" I get a popup which tells me Update Services is not running because I have configured WSUS. But I have not. This problems started when an update for WSUS itself was installed by Update automatically. Synchronisations seem to be saying OK.
I have looked for solutions (assuming this IS a problem) but "repairing" this seems pretty complicated, if indeed I need to.
Advice appreciated.
