Persistent 80027EFE Error
I've recently got a new custom built PC and then installed Windows 7 Home Premium x64 and activated it. After installing all the drivers proper, I realized that windows could not update giving the 80027EFE error code. I proceeded to google the problem and tried various solutions such as the TDSSKiller, disabling third party firewalls that I had such as comodo and Avast. I did a virus scan and malware scan with Avast, Malwarebytes and Spybot and my system was clean. I also went as far as to disable all firewalls and I still got the same error. I did system troubleshoot and let it repair and reset the Windows Update App, I also ran the Mr Fix it or what's it called at "agressive mode" and the problem still persisted. I went to the windows update site to coax it into a running an update but to no avail as well. For one thing I am sure the problem is not with the router or modem because my laptop with Win 7 Home Premium x64 can update normally for months and still downloads the latest update to date. I was thinking that my hard drives could have been compromised so I reformatted my boot drive and did a fresh install. The problem persisted even with a 100% new install. The thing is, Windows live one care can update and drivers can be retrieved from internet when I update them through device manager. It's just that the actual application Windows update did not work. So I reformatted again and it still gave the same problem. Finally I decided to be 100% sure I went out to buy a new hard disk and did a clean install from scratch. To my dismay the problem was still there. I'm 100% sure it's not a virus or malware, my version of Windows is authentic and I used the original disc. It's been 3 weeks since I got my PC and till today everything works fine even my steam downloads are fine but this problem still persist. I'm almost giving up, someone help me!
