Note: I had also previously experienced a Windows Update problem with error codes 8024402F & 8024000E, which started on 8 April 2015, & were spontaneously resolved after 5 weeks, on. Windows Update is still working, at least up to now (). In order to check for & repair any corrupt components, I also tried running running "sfc /scannow", and "DISM Restore Health", without success (DISM could not access the source files).Īfter 4 weeks, on 31 July 2015, my Windows Update 80072EE2 problem appears to have spontaneously resolved itself, and I was able to download & install 30 Important Windows Updates, without any problem. Several times, I tried running the Windows "Troubleshooting" tool from the Control Panel, & also the online version, as well Microsoft Fixit, and although they had all indicated that they had detected & fixed several problems, they did not actually resolve the Windows Update problem. On 30 June 2015, I started to experience problems with the failure of the Windows Update process with error codes 80072EE2 (mostly) & 80072EFE (occasional). My HP ProBook 450G1 Notebook PC, which came with Windows 8 Pro installed, is now running on Windows 8.1 Pro, with Internet Explorer 11 as the browser, and with Norton Internet Security 2014 (version 22.5.2.15) for anti-virus & firewall protection.
