Repeated Failure to Update Error 80070020
Hi, I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit. Windows Security Essentials for antivirus and Windows firewall as my firewall. For a few months now Windows has failed on the automatic updates. The updates are:
Security Update for Windows 7 (KB2556532)
Security Update for Windows 7 (KB2532531)
Security Update for Windows 7 (KB2536276)
Update for Windows 7 (KB2570791)
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 on Windows 7 SP1 x86 (KB2539635)
Security Update for Windows 7 (KB2563894)
Update Rollup for ActiveX Killbits for Windows 7 (KB2562937)
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows 7 (KB2559049)
Update for Windows 7 (KB2607712)
Security Update for Windows 7 (KB2567680)
Security Update for Windows 7 (KB2555917)
They all fail with error code 80070020.
I tried following the steps in this article: You receive error 0x80070020 when you use the Windows Update Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site to install updates
I tried starting windows in safe mode, but windows update will not run then.
I tried doing a clean boot by following the steps in the article but no success. I tried turning off the antivirus and firewall but that did not help either. Then the article runs out of ideas so here I am. Thanks very much for taking the time to help.
