Why won't my Windows Update start on it's own?

[nidophlosionZ]

For about a year now, whenever I restart (or turn on after a shut-down) my computer, I get a little message on my action center flag saying that I need to turn on Windows Update. I click it and click "turn on" but nothing happens. A few months ago, I found a batch file that manually starts it and gets rid of the notification. I'm fine just running this file every time I have to, I'm just wondering if there's any possible way to just fix the problem all together?
