Windows Update Error 80072EE2

The guy in post #40 was my solution... nice picture... unbelievably easy... literally I cannot believe how easy this stupid problem was to fix.
Thanks!

What a simple fix to such an aggravating problem....53 updates later, I am back in business. Thank you Sppedicut

Error 80072EE2

Post 40 works for me too, but doesn't allow Windows Update to do auto updates, which I prefer.

I created and zipped a Wireshark file. Perhaps it could shed some light on this issue?

The discussion and instructions, specifically, Scott Horvath's, found at: you recieve updates managed by your system administrator on home machine completely corrected this problem for me.


In short delete the Regkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate

Many thanks Jacee your post #37 fixed it for me.

After a SSD crash and system recovery from windows image I was getting Error 80072EE2 from windows update.
All other Microsoft fixes didn't work.

Cheers

Here's what worked on my Zenbook:

Open regedit and drill down to this key:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Windows\Windows Update

Delete the key.

Reboot

Problem solved.
