Quote:Microsoft confirmed it was aware of reports pointing to a bug breaking down the Windows Update service on Windows services, and judging from the latest feedback to users, the issue has already been fixed quietly.

In a post on reddit a few hours ago, a company engineer confirmed “Microsoft is aware of this issue and is investigating, we’ll provide more information as it becomes available.”

While additional details haven’t been shared, it looks like Microsoft has quietly rolled out a fix, according to reports from users that the Windows Update service is up and running once again.

Users who have previously switched to Google’s DNS server can return to their original DNS settings to see if Windows Update can check for updates.
