Reset the security settings on the Automatic Updates and BITS service
and see if it helps:

(the 'sc sdset ...' part in the link above)

Then, after the above, do the following:

Click Start >> Run >>
Type the follow command in the Open box.
"regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll" (w/o quotes)
Press Ok

Repeat the same for the following commands:

regsvr32.exe qmgr.dll
regsvr32.exe qmgrprxy.dll
