Uninstall Your Antivirus
We are not suggesting you leave your computer without any virus protection — only uninstall your current antivirus software to see if this helps fix the «Service registration is missing or corrupt» error.

Restore Your System Using Restore Point
The System Restore tool creates restore points. A restore point is a collection of important system files stored by System Restore on a given date and time. System Restore reverts everything to a saved restore point, but first, you must have one recorded.
If a restore point does not exist on your computer, System Restore has nothing to revert to. To use this tool, you must have created restore points. With a created restore point, this feature will bring your system back to the previous working state, without affecting your files and data.
This solution is a last resort, but if you have any system restore points created before you started experiencing the «Service registration is missing or corrupt» error, you might be able to fix the problem by performing a System Restore.
To restore your system, launch Run. To start it, press the Windows Key + R and type «rstrui.exe». In the Run dialog box, press Enter or click «OK».
In the System Restore window, click «Next».
If there are restore points created, you will see a list of them. Mark the «Show more restore points» checkbox, and it should display more restore points. Select the restore point that suits you best (depending on the time created etc.) and click «Next».
Do not select a Restore Point at a time when the «Service registration is missing or corrupt» error was already present — you certainly do not want to revert to that state.
Confirm your restore point. Your computer will be restored to the state before the event detailed in the «Description» field. If you are happy with your choice, click «Finish», and the system restoration process will begin.
We hope that at least one of the above solutions helped you to fix the «Service registration is missing or corrupt» error on Windows 10 and you no longer experience problems related to this Windows Update issue.
