I was also facing the same issue i tried to do the following steps, hope it will work for you.
- Click on Start - - > Run.
- Type regedit
- Find the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\au
- In the right pane, look for a key called noautoupdate
- Change the value from 1 to 0.
- Save it and reboot your PC.
Now you would be able to check the Automatic updates on.
