I can't register for Windows update and receive the error code 0 x 80070002 when I try.
When I try to solve the problem by following the instructions, I'm unable to start or stop the automatic updates in the field of Services.

Who advised you to 'download... '. RegCure? Doing so could only worse issues! If you ever think that your registry database must be cleaned, repaired, boosted or optimized (it isn't), read http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions.
