Solved Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit - Error: WindowsUpdate_8024402F

Hello, Windows 7 Forums Community.

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with the following error code WindowsUpdate_8024402F

Ever since, the windows update agent has not worked properly. I have not been able to update my OS in some time now. I have tried disabling antivirus, firewall, etc.

My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit.

Please point me in the right direction, if you could.

Thank you very much.
