Alvise, I would imagine you're reading the Event Log from another machine? If you read it locally you should get the proper content of the event.

Cheers. Emanuel

    Hi Alvise.

    Sorry about that, that usually happens when you open an event log on a different machine, I thought this might be the case here as well.

     

    That aside, I am a bit clueless about what could cause the issue, so the following question is my first guess: was that a clean install (from a Windows ISO), or deployed from an image/ clone not properly sysprepped?

    The Windows Update client has its own system identifier, and maybe this could cause problems? Although in this case the service should at least start...
