• Error 80072EFE (during Windows Update) code

  Windows Vista is not up-to-date, all I get is "Windows could not search for new updates" and the error code is, 80072EFE with the following clarification:

  Windows Update has encountered an unknown error.

  But when I followed with a link to a solution there is nothing, no solution or details. My internet connection works well, and I have Microsoft in my trusted SITES, so there is no connection problem.

  I have Windows Vista Home Premium SP2, and the last update that my computer could not do was on 19/05/2010 (KB905866). Just in case there is nothing to do with this issue.

  Please help, don't know what else to do...

• Error Code 8007000D install Windows updates

  I'm running Windows 7 on a Lenovo X200S.  Windows Update worked until about a month or two ago and has since been giving me "unknown error code' 8007000D.  I ran the Mr. Fixit tool in aggressive mode and it did not help.  I downloaded and installed KB947821 (sytems update tool) manually and it still does not work.  Suggestions how to fix this would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  8007000D - Error_invalid_data.  Corruption in the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution.  Please rename
  %windir%/SoftwareDistribution folder.

  This is how you do it in Vista so I guess it's the same thing in Windows 7 (check that you restart however that the folder cannot be recreated properly without a reboot).

  How to rename the software D folder in Vista - distribution agent version

  1. stop the Windows Update service (make sure that you are logged on as administrator)

  Start button | Control Panel | System and Maintenance | Administration tools
  Double-click on Services
  (Provide the administrator password or a confirmation if prompted to do so.)
  Right-click the Windows Update service and click on stop.

  2. Click Start, type %windir%\System32 in the search box and press ENTER.

  Find and rename the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution.

  3. start the Windows Update service

  Start button | Control Panel | System and Maintenance | Administration tools
  Double-click on Services
  (Provide the administrator password or a confirmation if prompted to do so.)
  Right-click the Windows Update service and click Start.

  This procedure will erase your history on the Windows Update Site. Not important.
  You can always check what updates have been installed quite easily.

  Your operating system is corrupted. To eliminate the problems on your computer, you need to restore factory settings and rebuild your computer system.

  A recovery of the system partition contains a copy of the operating system as it was when the computer was purchased new. Using the copy of Vista, you can restore the computer to factory settings. Of course you must back up your data files to an external before restoring support as the process reformats the disk thus clearing all existing files before writing new files.

  Please read Chapter 13 (page 33) Manual:
  5738 http://global-download.Acer.com/GDFiles/document/generic%20UG/generic%20UG_Acer_1.0_A_A.zip?acerid=633967123940952836&STEP1=notebook&Step2=aspire&step3=aspire & OS = ALL & LC = en & BC = ACER & SC = EMEA_27

  The manual suggests that you have an option to restore the operating system and retain user data that I've not seen in a manual before. It is worth trying because it reduces the work involved but I would again as a precaution, back up your data files on external safety precaution if things go wrong.
