Windows update error again, this time 80072FBF.

I have two computers different dell INSPIRON) 1 620 WITH WINDOW HOME PREMIUM and 2) a 3847 INSPIRON with windows 8.1. Both show the same error for windows update.

Windows could not search for new updates error code 80072FBF. I tried the troubleshooting update, but that is not the problem. I suspect it is a registry issue similar to the 80246002 error, but do not know how to correct it. Help?

Thank you, actually it turns out be a problem with the router.

I close all the way down including the router and rebooted and everything is back to normal.

    I replaced my hard drive recently, and after you install the recovery disk, I am unable to run the window update (error code A 8024, 000). I replaced the hard drive of this computer before and used this disc of recovery before and never had this problem, I even tried to reinstall the drive recovery again and the problem persists.

    4. Try to reinstall updates

    * Important * When you do this, the following problems occur:

    • Updates that are currently downloaded but which have not yet been installed must be downloaded again by using Windows Update or Microsoft Update.
    • When you remove the Software Distribution folder, your download history is deleted.
    • If you currently receive updates from Microsoft Update and Windows Update, you will need to reselect this option from the Windows Update Web site.


    * Note *     if the problem is resolved and you can successfully download and install the updates, you can delete the directory SoftwareDistribution.old to recover disk space.

  • Windows update error 80070490 - other corrections code do not work.

    I have 9 updates, that I need to install it and I get the error code 80070490.

    I did the following to try to address everything with no luck...
    (1) tried a system restore. Unfortunately this update has been tried and failed several times during the last few days, and each time it is automatically a restore point. So now I have no more old that won to restore restore points.
    2.) have tried updating system as indicated here preparation tool:
    Rebooted and still have the problem.
    2.) attempt to perform a repair with my Vista Ultimate DVD installation as described here:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-error-80070490
    The problem is that I can't choose 'upgrade '. It is grayed out. The reason for this is that I can't upgrade to a version older than what I'm running now. My DVD is SP1 and I have since upgraded to SP2. I keep seeing this recommendation and it will not work for me.
    (3.) I deleted the "Software Distribution" folder and reinstalled the WindowsUpdateAgent.
    4.), I tried to use the Mr FixIt. It does not find that there is a problem with the windows update and then it tries to fix it. It runs corrections and says that it has attached to them. But when I close and re - run, problems are found and 'fixed' again. I have been through multiple cycles of Mr FixIt, restart, update, error, fixit, etc.. I also tried the fixit several times back to back running. Whenever he finds the problem, says it is fixed, but then when re-ran he finds the problem, said again and again this is corrected.
    This all started after uninstalling several pieces of software by using the control panel. I emptied several unused programs and uninstalled AVG Antivirus. Not sure if this is related or not, since that was a few days after uninstalling before I saw for the first time this error.
    I'm still having the problem.
    If you could point me kindly to specific files that need to be extracted for this error I would really appreciate it.

    I managed to solve this problem on my own. It turned out to be something with the above Japanese language pack. I uninstalled it and everything updated correctly. I thought I'd pass just in case someone else has the same problem.

    Original title: 8 to 8.1 windows update error

    Hello

    You can get this error if some third-party anti-virus collide with Windows Update. To resolve this problem, use the following methods in the order in which they are listed. After each method, check to see if the problem is resolved. If the problem is not resolved, try the next method.

    Method 1: if you are using a third-party antivirus program. I suggest you temporarily disable and check.

    Warning: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2:  I suggest you to run the Windows Update troubleshooting from this link or manually follow the instructions in this link to try to solve the problem of Windows update first.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058/en-us

    If the troubleshooter as well as the measures do not help, try to run the DISM commands and then try to check if you are able to install the update to Windows. (Install only 3-5 updates at a time instead of installing all the updates total)

    1. type command prompt in the charms of the search, right-click on it and select run as administrator.

    2 type the following commands. Press ENTER after each command.

    DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

    DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    3. close the command prompt, and then run Windows Update again.
