Windows Update error code 8024402F Hi there... I have not been able to do a Windows Update on my PC since the past two or three weeks I think... I get an error that says "Windows Update error code 8024402F".
I have tried a lot of things... checked all the posts possible.. here is the list
1. Followed the windows troubleshooter... no success
2. Changed the date settings to system time.. no success
3. Ran a sfc /scannow... not detected anything... no success
4. Reformatted my PC and tried again... no success
5. Disabled all the antivirus programs and ran malwarebytes to check for any malicious software... no success
Does anyone have a resolution for this... I would really appreciate it... because its become really frustrating right now...
Many thanks... Watiing for a quick response.

MS reference to error. Windows Update error 80244016, 8024402f, or c80003fa
Type in "troubleshooter" in the Start Search bar. Click on "Find and Fix problems."
Tutorial here. Troubleshooting
Under System and Security click "Fix problems with Win Update". Follow prompts.
This may fix it and is worth a try.
Same thing MS page states to do but easier to follow with pictures. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Hopalong/ Godzilla OS Windows7 Pro 64bit SP-1; Windows XP Pro 32bit CPU Intel Core i7-870 Lynnfield 2.93GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Motherboard ASUS P7P55D-E PRO Memory 8GB@1400MHz Crucial Ballistix DDR3-1600 4x2GB Graphics Card ASUS ENGTX460 DirectCU/2DI/1GD5 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 Sound Card VIA Onboard Monitor(s) Displays Samsung SyncMaster 941BW 19"ws Screen Resolution 1440x900 Keyboard Logitech K-320 PSU COOLER MASTER Silent Pro RS850-AMBAJ3-US 850W Modular Case COOLER MASTER HAF 932 RC-932-KKN5-GP Black Cooling Scythe "Mugen-2 Rev.B" (2 ScytheKaze-Jyuni PWM fans) Hard Drives Intel 320 120GB SSD

I reformatted the PC and loaded Windows 7 again. Got it activated. Made sure that there were no antivrus programs blocking... Basically disable those.... went through your troubleshooter... fixed the windows update components... and it still gives the error... | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number ACER Aspire E571 OS Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit CPU Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.20Ghz, 3200 Mhz, 2 Core(s) Memory 2 GB RAM Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 7300 SE/7200 GS Sound Card High Definition Audio Device Monitor(s) Displays (32 bit) (60Hz) Screen Resolution 1440 x 900 Hard Drives Drive C:

Open Control Panel then Administrative Tools, then open Services.
Scroll down to Windows listings as in Snips below.
Highlight Windows Update it should be set to Auto. If "Off" or disabled click Restart where I have it circled in yellow towards top left..
Then highlight Windows Module. Same thing click "Start" if off or disabled.
If either of these are disabled the updater will not work.

Is everything for Windows Update enabled? I assume it is after going through the trouble shooters.
Try going to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download. For safety, put everything in there in a "new folder" or "zip file". Then delete everything that is in the download folder except for the "new folder" or "zip file".
Then try update again. | My System Specs | | |
