Update error 80072efd

Like everyone else, I did have a Windows Update for a while (Nov.29). I don't have ANYTHING new to my computer (software spyware, firewalls, etc.), but the error message appeared in any case.

I hope that typing 'netsh winhttp reset proxy' would solve my problem (as it did for many of you). . but I got the following message "the current WinHTTP proxy settings: Direct access (no proxy server).

I'm REALLY a novice when it comes to computers and am totally lost. I know that Windows updates are important.  Can you help?  Thank you.

I tried for days to get my Windows Update.  Nothing has worked. Finally, tonight, I went to "System Restore" and took a corresponding to the last updated restore point I received (12 November).  After the restoration, I performed a complete virus scan (just to be sure) and everything works perfectly.  Good luck. . I hope it works for you.

    Hello
    I have a laptop of old P750 for 2 months, after they need to do a restore to a disk upward, I now get the above error.
    I then decided to do a cover of toshiba with a clean install and still get the same result of windows update is not not able to connect to the server.

    I tried everything I can find this error, including the verification of the proxy settings for WU, reset the proxy via CMD prompt settings.

    I noticed something interesting while control validation using microsoft MGA diagnostic tool, where windows has been listed as a hat, but note some reports as:

    Validation code: 0
    LegitCheckControl: N/a, hr = 0 x 80070002
    signed: n/a, hr = 0 x 80070002

    My understanding is the way to 0 x 80070002 he couldn't connect identical to WU or that files are missing.

    I have rebuilt that recommended such c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution records, turned off all firewall, removed antivirus / software malware but still no luck.

    It seems funny how the same thing happens even after a clean drive toshiba recovery.

    Any suggestions?

    Basically, you have a firewall blocking updates. Stop or uninstall Norton, using their removal tool and
    Try updates.

    You should not have two large even antivirus programs on the same computer, much less running. Then
    You must uninstall AVG, or McAfee. Please use the removal tool for the one that you want to uninstall.
    If you just uninstall it without the removal tool, they will leave problem causing remains.

    Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click-RUN AS ADMIN-restart when full.
