Windows 7 ultimate RC cannot be updated because of the error code 80072F8F

Hi all!

I would like to know why my computer always returns an error when you try to check the updates from Windows Update and Windows Defender. It also cannot download content Microsoft Web sites, so the manual updates are not possible without another computer. I tried many clean installs a copy of Windows 7 RC (build 7100) and the problem occurs even when freshly installed (no third-party software facilities yet). Also, the problem occurred on a previous installation of Windows Vista, where he would show the same error. I have tried many suggestions made by the community here, including changing the time and recording several .dll files, with no luck.

I have two other computers on the home network and they are both working as expected - flawless updates and downloads of Microsoft. So I think that the problem is related to my computer only, but even after several installs, the problem persists. So is it the material (which I doubt)?

Thanks in advance for your help - any help/suggestions will be appreciated!

You may encounter temporary connection related errors when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update to install updates

These errors can occur caused by one of the following problems:

  • Applications or processes that interfere with Internet communications
  • Problems on your computer
  • Too much activity on the site to update
  • Strong Internet activity
  • Recoverable database errors
  • Problems of timeout server on the Windows Update or Microsoft Update site

There are a lot of updates released this month, maybe it's a problem of the server timeout.

Hope this helps to shed some light on your problem.
