So what? Just because your default update source is Microsoft Update
doesn't mean Windows Update "doesn't exist any more."
Wanna "flip" back to Windows Update?...
Go to Microsoft Update website | Click on Change Settings in left pane |
Scroll to bottom of page | To Stop Using Microsoft Update | Disable
Microsoft Update software and let me use Windows Update only (check).
When you're done,
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com will take you to
http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate instead of
http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate
But you may wanna stick with Microsoft Update:

What are the differences between Windows Updates...and Microsoft Updates?
While Windows Update provides you with updates specifically for Windows,
Microsoft Update expands the service to download and install updates for
other Microsoft software, such as Microsoft Office and Windows Live [as well
as Silverlight & Microsoft Security Essentials]...

If Windows Update is your default, Automatic Updates will NOT offer any
updates for Office, Silverlight or Windows Live (but Microsoft Security
Essentials will still continue to auto-update itself).
