Windows update error 80072EFE code

Hello, I keep getting this error code when I try to check for new updates and when I try to watch the updates already installed plant Explorer and restarts... What should I do?

Nasos_k31 wrote: I installed windows 7 32 bit except defender and firewall turned on, I don't have any other antivirus program installed.

Windows Defender is an anti-spyware application, not an antivirus application. You must both be installed.

Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

HOW to do a clean install of Win7: see "using the custom installation option" and formatting the hard drive section of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

4 steps to help protect your new computer before going online

NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free and download/run the removal tool before installing Windows updates and before installing your new anti-virus application.

  • Windows update error 8024200d code

    During the last two weeks my laptop has been not to install the updates that was sent by Microsoft. The error code is 8024200d. Whenever I run the troubleshooter, it corrects two errors that are different from those that I have. The problems identified by the help desk are:

    1-potential Windows update database error detected 0x800F081F
    2 - Windows Update components need to be repaired.
    Whenever I run the troubleshooter the result told that problems are detected and fixed, but the next time that I reboot, its still there.
    Please help me solve the error 8024200d because I think that's what creates this problem. Any help will be much appreciated guys.
    Thank you very much

    These two errors are the response standard stock when someone is running the troubleshooter.  It may have fixed something or it may not, there is one way to really know, isn't there?

    It's a failed install all updates to date or just one?
