Windows Update error 8024402F

I formatted my computer today, installed Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition and jumped on to the thing update and I cannot get it to connect.

I have no anti virus installed - other than Defender - as the first thing I wanted to do was windows update.

I have tried to stop the Windows Update service, delete the software distribution folder and relaunch it, and nothing happened.   Norton or Mcafee have never been installed on this computer.

Is there something I can do?

I do not have anti virus installed - other than the Defender

You may encounter temporary connection related errors when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update to install updates
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/836941

Windows Defender is not an antivirus application.

If KB836941 is of no help, backup all personal data (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD drive & make a clean install of Windows 7.  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 a local network (i.e. other computers) and before using a USB or SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formattedotherwise:

  • 2012 Server R2 Windows Update error 8024402F Essentials

    Hi all

    I have a newly installed Win 2 k 12 R2 Essentials server. Windows updates worked for the first time in court (first update etc.) but now when I go to check the updates manually, I get error 8024402F. I tried ALL the troubleshooting on various Internet sites without success. This includes CISD, sfc.exe, disabling firewall/scannow, etc..

    I am at my wits end now with what I can't work out where it is a failure. To confirm, there is no firewall or proxy between this server and the internet.

    Your advice and your support would be much appreciated!

    Thank you

    Hello

    According to the Microsoft Knowledge Base, it has something to do with your Internet connection. Have you already checked the Microsoft Knowledge Base?

    Microsoft recommends disabling the security software (antivirus and firewall) and try the troubleshooting Windows Update tool as described here:

  • Windows update error 80072EFD

    Hello
    I have a laptop of old P750 for 2 months, after they need to do a restore to a disk upward, I now get the above error.
    I then decided to do a cover of toshiba with a clean install and still get the same result of windows update is not not able to connect to the server.

    I tried everything I can find this error, including the verification of the proxy settings for WU, reset the proxy via CMD prompt settings.

    I noticed something interesting while control validation using microsoft MGA diagnostic tool, where windows has been listed as a hat, but note some reports as:

    Validation code: 0
    LegitCheckControl: N/a, hr = 0 x 80070002
    signed: n/a, hr = 0 x 80070002

    My understanding is the way to 0 x 80070002 he couldn't connect identical to WU or that files are missing.

    I have rebuilt that recommended such c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution records, turned off all firewall, removed antivirus / software malware but still no luck.

    It seems funny how the same thing happens even after a clean drive toshiba recovery.

    Any suggestions?

    Alan,
    If you have not already opened him a pension case and you still get this error, here are a few things to try.
    Run these tools and see if one of them report errors that cannot be fixed:
    Disk error checking
    System File Checker  
    The system update tool

    If those who invent it own and you still have a problem you can run some virus\malware scan from another source and then your.  Take a look at these links because they have some great info on virus protection:

  • Windows Update, error 80200010 # WindowsUpdate_dt000

    The message referenced above is the error in trying to fill three 3 important updates to my computer, I received.  Two 2 updates installed correctly and completely, however, one (1) does not.  In chicking on icon troubleshooting he, I will put this error message "WindowsUpdate_80200010" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"  What does this mean and how can I fix this error and get this update loaded on my computer.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-error-80200010

    If Windows Update error 80200010 during updates, this means that the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS), cannot access the Internet. This service is used to connect to the Windows website and download updates to your computer.

    To fix this problem, make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet and check for updates again. To easily see if you are connected to the Internet, point to the network icon in the notification area and wait until you can see the status of your connection. You will see the name of your network or the service to which you are connected and the type of connection you have. If you are on a company or home network, you should see the message access: Local and Internet.

    I figured Vista in this case.
