Try the fixit that comes up on this page - Temporary connection-related errors may occur when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update


Test Windows Update again.

If it still gives the same error, try resetting the BITS queue -

Open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following commands.

Code:

Net stop bits
Net stop wuauserv
Ipconfig /flushdns
cd \documents and settings\all users\application data\microsoft\network\downloader
Del qmgr0.dat
Del qmgr1.dat
Net start bits
Net start wuauserv
 
.

reboot and then Check for Updates again

I try check my registry , i can't find WindowsUpdate at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE maybe my registry have some problem ?
only till here "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\" i didn't see \WindowsUpdate\AU , maybe it's related with why i can't check for update ?

Hello sle3pingz,

If you haven't already, then you might see if doing OPTION TWO in the tutorial below may be able to help. :)

Windows Update - Reset

Interestingly, I have a clean install which has just hit this problem - I'll see what I can find that solves it and post back :)

sle3pingz,

Nope. It's not dangerous at all. It only resets and reregisters Windows Update. You don't lose anything. :)
