Windows Update empty list updates the list (w / updates)

I have a weird problem with Windows Update on the Windows 7 x 64 (which obviously appeared after a while - not straight out-of-the-installation).
The problem is this: I have open Windows Update, click "Find updates", it tells me there are 3 optional updates available, click on "3 optional updates available" to make me choose which install, opens the list of updates, but... it is empty! And on the left, he continues to say "Optional (3)" (screenshot to http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/4839/wufail.png )
This happens also with the important updates, that they however to settle as they are selected by default, I guess.
Needless to say, without hidden updates are present...

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Giulio

Sorry, as the problem appeared, now he's gone... no idea how that happened (other than a BSOD forcing _another_ reboot...)! So... Detective Conan!

    Hi Sarma_RN,

    1. When you receive the error message?

    2. update you are trying to install?

    3. When was the last time you were able to install updates?

    If Windows Update, error 80072ee2 during updates, the Windows Update servers may experience an unusually high number of requests for updates. Close Windows Update, wait 10 to 15 minutes, and then run Windows Update again. Alternatively, you can wait for automatic update of Windows run at its next scheduled time.

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

    • Applications or processes that interfere with Internet communications
    • Problems on your computer
    • Strong Internet activity
    • Recoverable database errors

  • Windows 8 "Windows Update" absent from the list of 'change PC settings.

    When I first upgraded to Win 7 to Win 8, there was a "Windows Update" entry as last element in "PC settings" when I used the charm of parameters.

    It is more listed.

    If I search for Windows Update and click on the tile which is, he spends "PC settings" page but display a "Page not found" error message.

    No idea how to solve this problem?

    This is the second time it happened to me, the first, I thought that I could of got a virus or something. So I did a refresh and the problem was solved. But I remember correctly install a program the first time (I don't remember the name), and then links to certain parameters were missing.
    I know I probably have réactualisiez, because there is no viable solution available at this time. But refreshing should NOT be the solution. Because from what I see, it is not limited to a single program. So it means that the issue could occur for a variety of program installs. It is devastating and it is one will not install anything for fear of the question happening.

    I also hesitate to install new programs, as the refreshment of the PC 'solution' is no solution at all and I am less enthusiastic to spend all my time to 'fix' things when they worked perfectly well on Windows 7.

    Once again, I think that MS has a major problem here and surprised that it did not fall in beta as most of the things I do on my PC is quite conventional.

    The malicious software removal tool does not use an installer. As a general rule, when you run the malicious software removal tool, it creates a temporary directory named at random on the root of the drive of the computer. This directory contains several files, and it includes the Mrtstub.exe file. Most of the time, this folder is automatically deleted after the tool to the end of execution or the next time that you start the computer. However, this folder may not always be automatically deleted. In these cases, you can manually delete this file, and this has no adverse effect on the computer.

    Visit the Microsoft Solution Center and antivirus security for resources and tools to keep your PC safe and healthy. If you have problems with the installation of the update itself, visit the Microsoft Update Support for resources and tools to keep your PC updated with the latest updates.

    At first I restored to an earlier point, but noted that there was very little to choose restore points.  I contacted HP and they recommended a difficulty of their site that helps with updates.  I ran and persistent .net updates succeeded (However, he is the one who seems to be back).  I ran the program of preparation for Service Pack 1 on the site of Ms.  I ran the program fix - it on the site of Ms.
