Question Windows update services wont start

[V Gaming]

Hello
windows update always bothered me during gaming as it consumed my internet so i used to disable it from Run >services.msc> windows update>disable and apply and later i enable it again after i finished playing but now it wont start again .whenever i select enable and click apply it says Acess Denied.
As a result of this error i cant download apps from microsoft store whatsapp , netflix etc
ive tried it enabling it as Administrator but no luck
Any idea how can i get it back to work

Format and reinstall. Then stop monkeying with windows.

You have most likely been infected with something

Reset your pc back to when all was well by using system restore.
You should have a valid restore point from a previous time.

Yeah the issue with system restore in windows 10/11, we come across this at work as well. Many times when you go to set up a new Dell for example, system restore is often disabled out of the box. Don’t know that if that’s a Dell or a Microsoft thing but I’ve seen that a bit.
