On method 3 once you press apply and service status says running is it supposed to take a long time? I pressed it 20 mins ago and it still says running

i'm on a WSUS server and as soon as I disable HKLM\Software\policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU\UseWUServer (put to 0 instead of 1), it works for me. But i don't want to disable the WSUS to make the Windows Store works...
