    Windows Update fails Code: 80072F78


    Hi Guys,

    I was hoping that someone might know what's causing a strange Windows update issue.

    I've tried everything, SFC, Update reset (softwaredistribtion.old) update readiness tool

    Here's a link to my Windows update log:

    2014-11-25 17:53:55:357 1336 1a40 AU AU checked download status and it changed: - Pastebin.com



    Thank you in advance!!

    Please follow the Windows Update Posting Instructions and post the requested data
    If the file is too large (8MB compressed), remove the older CBSPersist cab files until the final file is below the limit - you can always post them separately after zipping them. (the forum doesn't allow the upload of bare CAB files, for a number of reasons)

I've tried the MS Fix-it's, and I've tried what I've found in this forum, no luck. I zipped the CBS file, but can't figure out how to post it, and I have the screenshot of the update screen, but can't see where to upload it. ?
