Windows 7: Windows Update Error Code 8020002E

I cleared the SoftwareDistribution folder and followed your instructions. Still the same error code. Do you want me upload the logs again to see what happened? I appreciate all your help Noel.

I cleared the SoftwareDistribution folder and followed your instructions. Same error code. I then disabled my firewall (AVG) and tried again, same error. Do you want me to upload the event logs again? I appreciate all your help Noel, Thanks.

Just the windowsupdate.log, I think, please.

Here you go.

Today I tried to install the updates and received a second error code: 80072F78. Does this help diagnose the problem?
I appreciate all your help Noel. :)

Again - it's a connection problem....
here's the 'literal' translation....
ERROR_WINHTTP_INVALID_SERVER_RESPONSE
It means basically that the signal isn't finding a server where it thinks it should.
You need to check out your Internet Options connections tab - make sure that any proxy settings in use are correct, or disable the proxy and try again.

Forgive me Noel, I don't really know what I need to change with the server connection. I have high speed internet. Just tested the speed and I have 47 Mbps down, 12 Mbps up. I also reset my modem. When I checked under my internet connections, it is set to automatically detect settings. Are these updates that important? Or should I just ignore them?

The one you're looking for is the proxy settings. For most people these should be totally blank

It was, but I reset my wireless and internet connection. I was able to install one of the updates. Restarted my computer, and was able to instal the other two. Thanks for all your help Noel! Have a great weekend!

Great!

Good luck.
