Windows Update error 80072ee2

[Djr22192]

Hello,

I have two computers that have never been able to receive updates. Any time I try to update the computers I receive the error 80072ee2.

I installed this KB which is suppose to fix it but it did not help.

That fix does not list your error code, therefore it is safe to assume that it won't fix your error.
What version of windows do you have
Do you get the error when searching for updates, or when you go to install a specific update
Do you have a legitimate copy of windows

They are both windows 7 OS

Yes I get the error and waiting for about 5 mins of searching then It displays the error.

Yes, I have a paid for version of windows 7 and the have been registered

Have you at tried to disable Windows Firewall just to see if it works then?

Yes I tried to disable the firewall.

But they are factory window 7 computers from best buy.. They dont have any modifications to the firewall to them.
