Windows updateerror 80072EE2is a common problem that pops up if you venture to check for updates on yourWindows 7computer.
I was little stunned at first, as the these things were properly working on my 32-bit version.
So I uninstalled this data pipe adapter and the Windows 7 64 bit update started working fine.
you’re free to achieve this by these simple steps.
I have a pc which uses ICS to connect all the clients in my home connection to the internet.
WU would not work on either client.
Kept getting 80072ee2 failure when searching for updates.
Tried every solution I could find on the internet.
Well, I decided the problem could be the ethernet connection from the ICS Host to the home connection.
Removed the ethernet rig from within rig manager, rebooted and let XP home reinstall the rig.
After that, the clients could run Windows Update.
But apart from my physical nic I have two more virtual nics due to VMware installation.
So I unistalled VMware and update worked!
Fix #4 : Shut Down HyperVisor VMs
@brainiacfaced problems with his Hypervisor virtual machines.
My Windows Update suddenly stopped working several weeks ago.
I run Windows Server 2008 with two virtual machines in Hypervisor.
Windows Firewall ships with this version of Windows and should already include these sites in the exceptions list.
