How to Fix Error 1083

Each Windows service is protected against faults, as open handles are created, which are in turn, closed, when the service is stopped. That feature is designed to protect the Windows service from deletion while running. There are several circumstances that an end user may encounter error 1083 in, with Windows Updates, being but one of many. When this error occurs while running Windows Update, the common cause tends to be related to the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS), with its inability to connect to the Microsoft Update site.
