Cant et Windows Update to run on 8.1

Question
-
On 8.1, Windows Update is set to never run. The account I am signed in under is set to administrative, but still wont let me change it. It says can only be changed by admin account. I have run full AVG and MacAfee anti virus and still no change. even set up another account as admin and same issue. Got any ideas????
