Computer help: windows update error message
windows update error message
by jeriboam - 11/8/09 9:02 PMI use an hp pavilion desktop with xp/os. I get my windows updates manually and have had no problems doing so for yrs. Today,using IE browser, I went to windows update site and clicked to do a custom update which started in usual manner with a 'scan to check for updates,then suddenly popped up an error window with the following error number: Error number: 0x80072EFD
I have tried all microsoft troubleshooting tips with no result so can not get high security updates. Any suggestions most appreciated.

have you tried automatic?
by d_adams - 11/9/09 8:21 AM In reply to: windows update error message by jeriboamHave you tried setting it to automatic to see if that makes a difference? I haven't used Xp for years, so I can't remember, but it seems like there was a Explorer window that gave you options when an update came up and it automatically found it.
Switch from manual to auto msft update
by jeriboam - 11/9/09 9:12 AM In reply to: have you tried automatic? by d_adamsd_adams- thanks for suggestion; I did switch to automatic while at the msft update site but did not wait to see if it did an update; I just tried to continue the update window at the time. I am pursuing a couple of other suggestions and if no solution will try your suggestion to let the automatic proceed on its own.
Thanks for your thoughts,
Regards
