Windows Update Check Failure Error-80072EE2 - Recurrence

Hi Aura Thank you for answering that question. I checked Task Manager > Details, which I sorted by "I/O Write Bytes", & it appears that over the 2 day period "Wed 4 Nov 15 8:52 am >to> Fri 6 Nov 15, 8:42 am", that the "nis.exe, System, I/O write bytes" has increased by +660,839,262 bytes, &...

Windows Update Check Failure Error-80072EE2 - Recurrence

Hi Aura The KB3102812 (not KB3103812 ) Update, is supposed to be an Optional Update, not a Recommended Update. There seems to be differences of opinion between Windows Users, as to whether Optional Updates should be installed, unless presumably they deal specifically with problems that you...

Windows Update Check Failure Error-80072EE2 - Recurrence

Hi Aura I have used "Fixit" from that link several times previously, and although it had indicated that it had found & repaired various errors, it never actually resolved the "Windows Update Check Failure Error 80072EE2" Problem. Windows Update Check is still working, & consequently I would...

Windows Update Check Failure Error-80072EE2 - Recurrence

Hi Aura Problem is back again. When I opened the Windows Update window this morning (Sun 25 Oct 15, 5:39 am UTC), it said that the Last (successful) Check for Updates (Automatic) was yesterday (Sat 24 Oct 15) 4:54 am UTC. I then tried a manual "Check for updates", & it failed with error...

Windows Update Check Failure Error-80072EE2 - Recurrence

Hi Aura I can only temporarily disable the Norton Smart Firewall, so for a permanent resolution of the problem, I would have to change the NIS Smart Firewall Traffic Rule settings to allow the Windows Services go through on my "Public Network" "Trust Level setting". However, events have...

Hi Aura Did you receive the private message I sent you yesterday, Wed 21 Oct 15, containing the contents on the MiniToolBox Scan Results log ? In answer to your question, it is really called "Norton Internet Security", but I purchased it originally in 2014, which is why I referred to it as...

Windows Update Check Failure Error-80072EE2 - Recurrence

Hi Aura I copied the URL link that you provided, & pasted it into the "Run" box; in the IE11 window that opened, I was asked whether I wanted to open or save the environment.cab file. I selected "save", and the environment .cab file (16KB) was saved to my Downloads folder. What do you want me...

Windows Update Check Failure Error-80072EE2 - Recurrence

Hi Aura With regard to whether the Windows Update service is "started" or "stopped", "Services" indicates that the Windows Update service is "running"; however when I right-clicked on it, the "stop" option was greyed-out, but the "start" option was not greyed-out, which is opposite of what I...

Windows Update Check Failure Error-80072EE2 - Recurrence

Hi Aura I am using Win 8.1 Pro 64-bit, & apparently SURT does not apply to it. Instead Microsoft's instruction is to use the DISM command, "DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth." to detect & fix corruptions. However when using the "/Restore Health" switch, DISM normally requires that...
