If you are looking for a cmd you can put into a batchfile
SC START gupdate
SC START gupdatem
You need to run the batchfile as an admin
You can query and write the results with
SC QUERY gupdate>c:\logs\log.txt
SC QUERY gupdatem>>c:\logs\log.txt

Can I ask why you need it to run all the time? From my understanding the service runs when another software such as Google Earth, or Google Chrome asks it to run.

Why on earth would you have these services running on a server? I cant think of a scenario where I would want any google-related software on our servers.

GOOGLEUPDATE.EXE Information
This is a valid program but it is not required to run on startup.This program is not required to start automatically as you can run it when you need to. It is advised that you disable this program so that it does not take up necessary resources. The following information is a brief description of what is known about this file. If you require further assistance for this file, feel free to ask about in the forums.
Google Update Service (gupdate)
"%ProgramFiles%\Google\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe" /svc
Keeps your Google software up to date. If this service is disabled or stopped, your Google software will not be kept up to date, meaning security vulnerabilities that may arise cannot be fixed and features may not work. This service uninstalls itself when there is no Google software using it.
%ProgramFiles%\Google\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe
This startup entry is installed as a Windows service.
Google Update Service (gupdate)
%ProgramFiles% refers to the Program Files folder. The path to this folder is C:\Program Files\ or C:\Program Files (X86)\ depending on whether the version of Windows or the program being installed is 32-bit or 64-bit.
Disclaimer
It is assumed that users are familiar with the operating system they are using and comfortable with making the suggested changes. BleepingComputer.com will not be held responsible if changes you make cause a system failure.
This is NOT a list of tasks/processes taken from Task Manager or the Close Program window (CTRL+ALT+DEL) but a list of startup applications, although you will find some of them listed via this method. Pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL identifies programs that are currently running - not necessarily at startup. Therefore, before ending a task/process via CTRL+ALT+DEL just because it has an "X" recommendation, please check whether it's in MSCONFIG or the registry first. An example would be "svchost.exe" - which doesn't appear in either under normal conditions but does via CTRL+ALT+DEL. If in doubt, don't do anything.
Windows could not start the Windows Update service on Local Computer
To fix this problem, you can follow these suggestions-
- Check Service Dependencies
- Start Background Intelligent Transfer Service and Cryptographic Services
- Reset Windows Update component
- Run Windows Update Troubleshooter
- Edit Windows Registry.
1] Check Service Dependencies
A Windows service depends on other services, and that is called Dependencies of a Windows Service. The Windows Update service also depends on three different services called –Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Service, DCOM Server Process Launcher and RPC Endpoint Mapper. This means that if those two Services are not working properly, then the dependant Service also will not start.
Open the Services Manager and locate these-
- Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Service
- DCOM Server Process Launcher
- RPC Endpoint Mapper
Double-click on each service and verify whether the Startup type for all is set toAutomatic and the Service status is set to Running or not. If not, then click on the Start button. You need to use that option to run the service. After doing that, check if you can enable the Windows Update service or not.
2] Start Background Intelligent Transfer & Cryptographic Services
Both these Services too need to be working normally for Windows Update:
- Background Intelligent Transfer Service – Manual
- Cryptographic Services – Automatic
To locate them and make sure the Startup type is as mentioned above, and the Service status is set to Running. If not, then click on the Start button to start the Service.
Check if you can enable the Windows Update service or not.
Related: One of the update services is not running properly in Windows 11/10.
3] Reset Windows Update component
If the problem continues then, you may need to reset each Windows Update component manually. This becomes mandatory when you have made a lot of changes regarding Windows Update, and the update service has stopped due to unknown reasons.
Read: Windows could not start the Windows Store Service (WSService).
4] Run Windows Update Troubleshooter
The Windows Update Troubleshooter is probably the best option for you when nothing is working for your benefit. You can run Troubleshooter in Windowsfrom Windows Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot. Here you should find an option called Windows Update. Click this option and click the Run the troubleshooter button. After that, you need to follow the screen options.
5] Remove a value from Registry
If the Troubleshooter fails and you receive a message Service Registration is Missing or Corrupt, then open the Registry Editor and navigate to this path-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\ApplicabilityIf you can find a value called ThresholdOptedIn on your right-hand side, delete it.
Hope something helps!
TIP: More generic suggestions to troubleshoot Windows Services will not start issues.
