XP Task Scheduler and Automatic Updates

I have a PC running XP Home SP2.

I just disabled Task Scheduler via Control Panel/Administrative
Tools/Services. Does Windows' Automatic Updates rely on Task Scheduler in
any way? I have Automatic Updates turned on.

According to the Automatic Updates Service properties, it has no dependencies.
