Hi all, Cannot get my microsoft update to work while 14 updates are awaiting. Error code 8007272D I read the other ´cannot find solution´ answer by Arthur Li and did the following: Step 1: Verify the relevant Windows Update services ================================ 1. Click the "Start" Button, in “Search” bar, type: "services.msc" (without quotes) and press Enter. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. 2. Double click the service "Windows Update". 3. Click on the "General" tab; make sure the "Startup Type" is "Automatic" or "Manual". Then please click the "Start" button under "Service Status" to start the service. 4. Please repeat the above steps with the "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" service. You can also temporarily stop these services, restart the computer, and then start these services again. If any service is missing or cannot be stopped or restarted, please let me know. All seemed to be OK Step 2: Rename the Windows Update Softwaredistribution folder ================================ This problem may occur if the Windows Update Software distribution folder has been corrupted. We can refer to the following steps to rename this folder. Please note that the folder will be re-created the next time we visit the Windows Update site. 1. Close all the open windows. 2. Click the "Start" Button, click "All programs", and click "Accessories". 3. Right-click "Command Prompt", and click "Run as administrator". 4. In "Administrator: Command Prompt" window, type in "net stop WuAuServ" (without the quotes) and press Enter. Note: Please look at the cmd window and make sure it says that it was successfully stopped before we try to rename the folder. However, if it fails, please let me know before performing any further steps and include any error messages you may have received when it failed. 5. Click the Start Button, in the "Start Search" box, type in "%windir%" (without the quotes) and press Enter. 6. In the opened folder, look for the folder named "SoftwareDistribution". 7. Right-click on the folder, select Rename and type "SDold" (without the quotes) to rename this folder. 8. While still in the "Administrator: Command Prompt" window, type the command "net start WuAuServ" (without the quotes) in the opened window to restart the Windows Updates service. Note: Please look at the cmd window and make sure it says that it was successfully started. However, if it failed, please let me know before performing any further steps and include any error messages you may have received when it failed. Successfully started But now, if i run Windows Update again, the same error message occurs, only now the computer seems not to be able to see the updates at all. Anyone know what to do? I have put the 3 requested files on Skydrive http://cid-418a1f7700bf6402.office.live.com/browse.aspx/Hadewych%20Windows%20Update%20error%208007273D Thanks, Hadewych

Hi, Have you tried to Reset Winsock? If not, please check if it can work: 1. Click the “Start” button, click "All programs", and click "Accessories". 2. Right-click "Command Prompt” and click "Run as administrator". If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. 3. Please enter the following command, and press enter. Netsh winsock reset 4. A message stating "Successfully reset the Winsock Catalog" will appear. Then restart the computer If this issue persists, I suggest you to clear the BITS queue of current jobs: 1. Start Notepad. To do this, click Start, type notepad in the Start Search box, and then click Notepad in the Programs list. 2. Copy and then paste the following commands into Notepad. net stop bits net stop wuauserv Ipconfig /flushdns cd "Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader" del qmgr0.dat del qmgr1.dat net start bits net start wuauserv 3. Save the file to your desktop as clear.bat. To do this, follow these steps: I. In Notepad, click File, click Save As, and then type clear.bat. II. Click the Save as type list, select All Files (*.*), and then click Save. 4. On the desktop, right-click the clear.bat file, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password. Or, click Continue. Note When you do this, the BITS queue is cleared. 5. Try to install the updates again. 6. If the issue is resolved, delete the clear.bat file that you created in these steps. Hope it helps.
