Vista - Code error: 80072EFE (cannot install updates)

I have Windows Vista Business Service Pack 2 on a Lenovo T400s Intel Core 2 Duo P9600 @ 2.53 GHz.

I found an answer that has recommended a boot Fixit and clean running. I did, try the options Standard and aggressive with Fixit. But I still get the same error message (80072EFE) whenever I try to receive updates. Thanks for any advice.

  • Windows 7 - error Code: 80072EFE (cannot install updates)

    I can't get windows updates: using Windows7 & IE8. Last update was right on 18/06/2010 and for some Win7 updates are blocked or I get this error 80072EFE code.  I bought a registry Fixer that said he could solve this problem, but it did not. Troubleshooting in Win7 will not fix the problem. I tried other suggestions of forums, but they do not work, some offer suggestions for Vista. Vista and Win7 are different. I use McAfee Total Protection Service and it automatically uninstalls the Windows Firewall. Even if I disable McAfee error code is displayed. If anyone can help with this? Thank you

    When I updated to Vista and MS Office 2007 using Windows updates, download updates, but do not settle, and the error is reported as 80246007 and 646.  I checked the "BITS" service settings that are good ('Automatic' and 'On the road') and the 'repair.bat' after having removed the temporary update files.  None of these solved the problem.  I use MS Security Essentials, but under Malware Protection Virus protection does not work and the message says "Microsoft Security Essentials doesn't have Security Center with a program to solve this problem". I know not whether that is related to the update problem or not.  Suggestions more?  Thank you.

    This problem can occur if the manifest of components (CBS)-based services is corrupted.

    Try these steps and check the result.
    Step 1: Scanner of sfc (System File Checker) to see if any system file is missing or damaged. To do this, try the following steps:
    a. visit http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
    b. run the scan successfully.
    c. restart the computer so that the changes take effect and try to install the updates.

    Step 2: If the problem persists, perform the upgrade on the spot
    a. see article method 3
    b. check if the problem persists.
