• Yet can't overcome problem of update error 80072F8F

  Re the discussion on error 80072F8F on failure to be able to update to Vista.

  I tried all the solutions suggested in this discussion and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929458, including the deactivation of Norton 360 and still the same error message appears.

  I stupidly had invoked the reliability of the update process and discovered that in fact no update occurred since December 10, 2008. My laptop is out of date and I can't do anything about it that Microsoft now prevents manual update, the only update authorized either through this process that now does not work. Someone at - it any other ideas? Thank you.

  123465788,

  First of all, to access a Vista command prompt you can simply type CMD in the search box, no need to create and manage more.

  Secondly, your original post said you that you did all the steps in this KB. http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/KB/929458

  If possible you can double-check that you you did all the steps as he has about 4 methods to fix this problem.

  If you did all these things, I check the time and date in your BIOS and make sure that it is correct or that you do not have a low battery. If all this is correct, you must then contact your OEM, and see if there is a BIOS newer than what you use.

  However, please note. If something goes wrong with the update your BIOS you can render your motherboard not working, so I strongly recommend that you have an agent of the manufacturer of your computer support, and or the motherboard on the phone with you when you do this.

  Thank you

• Windows 7 Windows Update error 80072f8f

  When you try to perform a windows update, you may receive this error.

  I just wanted to post that I found the solution in that the GTW CyberTrust certification authority is not approved in Internet Explorer/Windows 7.

  Installation of the CA in trusted authorities allows windows update to continue.

  I couldn't find any solution after the search of this site, so thought a post would work.

  I had the same problem with mine, I tried the thing guitarfish suggested, but that did not work. Did not understand how it can be because of the date and time, after hours of searching on the net, I managed to fix it myself and here is how I did it

  Click your time and date (lower-right) and then a windows should appear, click on the link "change date and time settings. on the date and time window click on the internet time tab, click the change settings button, then click the 'update now' button, then click ok and exit the windows and now try your update.

  It should work as it did for me

  Good luck

• Windows Update - error Code 80072F8F

  Ok. So I am very anxious about my problem and after reading a lot of posts and various Microsoft support pages I have to insist that you are trying to copy and paste a generic useless solution that you throw all beginners. If you can't help, just don't post.

  In any case, my last Windows successful update was August 3. The update was "Security Update for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB2286198) ', and he succeeded. Since then, no main Windows settings have been changed and no software was installed. However, without apparent reason, I get the above error code (see the title of the topic) whenever I try to run Windows Update. My first instinct was to run a Google search on the error code. It produces the following two pages:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-error-80072F8F

  http://support.Microsoft.com/GP/system_maintenance_for_windows

  I tried all the solutions offered by these pages, and nothing worked. My clock is well-ordered, and in sync with time.windows.com. I ran Microsoft Automated Troubleshooting Services. No dice. So I looked around on your beautiful forums here and found the following topic:

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistawu/thread/10acefdc-297F-4D14-9f5c-5a90250a8b8c

  I tried to correct the problem by trying EVERY SOLUTION UNIQUE attributed to the user who created this topic, including resettlement certificates root to update and re-registering components (Softpub.dll, etc.) as suggested. I temporarily disabled my third-party security software (ESET Smart Security 4 and Yes, that my subscription is current and all my third-party software are up to date). Windows Update is the only feature which seems to be faulty on my machine. My internet connection is fine, loads pages without penalty in Firefox and Internet Explorer. I've rebooted more times than I can count.

  I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Given that you're OS software costs as much, if not more than a cheap computer in itself and I consider a problem I can't solve (because the way I am a student a graduate of computer science in the former USSR) all unacceptable. The fact that, not being not able to update the OS effectively paralyzes my laptop thousand dollars, I am naturally very irritated. Stay in place beyond 04:00 trying to solve an operating system bug is not valuable my time use, and so all productivity more is lost I can simply opt to migrate from Windows altogether. Let me know if you need more information about the configuration of my. I hope you can help, because I enjoy not having to do a full reformat.

• New installation of Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit - Windows Update does not work error 80072F8F

  I just bought and installed WIn 7 Home Prem on a new 1 TB drive.  When I try to run Windows Update I get error 80072F8F.  After reviewing several days, I have now tried and failed to get anywhere:

  • Checked the time date and resynch'ed against the internet several times
  • checked that I can access https://partners.microsoft.com
  • downloaded all certificates of a XP machine and a Vista
  • Use regsvr32 to the following dll: softpub Microsoft initpki mssip32
  • reinstallation of Windows 7 with nothing else

  I can't rename the folder "c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" as suggests a position as it is said always used and I can't understand what is using it.

  Please note that the internet works on both IE and Firefox and I have activated Windows 7.

  It's driving me crazy.  How Microsoft may not get its own OS for talking to himself!  Win 7 is fine for now, but it won't take long to get left behind, if I can't run updates.  Can I still use XP I put up as a dual boot.
