Update errors: Code 800F081F and 0x80070002
I have Win7 SP1 64 bit. Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 fails to install and now I can't get any Windows updates. I can install other updates if I download the standalone update files from Microsoft's website, just not the Update Agent.
When Windows Update tries to update to the WU Agent 7.6.7600.320 I get the 800F081F error.
I downloaded the standalone update file (from Update to Microsoft Update client) and tried to install it, and I got the 0x80070002 error.
I have used both admin account and my regular account while attempting the install.
What I have tried so far:
- sfc /scannow - found no errors
- installed Windows Update Readiness Tool (May 2014)
- Microsoft Fixit
- Windows Update Diagnostic
- checked my computer with 3 different virus/malware scanners (not at the same time, and only one of them
is for real time scanning, the two others are on an usb stick just for on demand scanning) and nothing was found
- even tried to change DNS on to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. and still no go
- renamed the "Software Distribution folder" so a new one was created
- tried the install with clean boot, but nothing
- instructions from Windows Update error 80070002 - Windows Help didn't help either
Any help with this would be much appreciated. Attachment 332188.
