After WGA Notifications Installed, AU Greyed Out (Score 0)

After allowing WGA Notifications to be installed, I'm not receiving any notices that my copy of Windows is not Genuine (apparantly it's genuine). However, now the entire Automatic Updates screen is greyed out. I've seen several other posts concerning this on other forums, and the resolution has always been "turn on the Automatic Update Service." However, my Automatic Update Service _is_ on, and the entire Automatic Updates screen is still greyed out (I've tried restarting the services several times). The part that concerns me is that I'm now apparently locked into the "Automatic (recommended)" selection since I can no longer change it.

I'm wondering if any other slashdotter has experienced this.
