Windows could not search for new updates Code 80070002

I have something to resolve your problem. Go to start menu/computer now open that drive where window is installed. Open the windows folder and locate the (SOFTWARE DISTRIBUTION ) folder. Now open the download folder. Now open the installed folder. Only 1 file is there right click and select (RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR).Now you are working as administrator now run the installation using default values and click yes for the license.

After the installation completes restart your PC.
