Hey, I was updating windows 7 for a long time, and suddenly, I encountered windows update error 80072ee2. I wanted to know what it means, what may have caused it, and does anybody know how to fix it?
Windows Update Error 80072ee2 is common for all modern Windows versions. This error appears when you try installing updates from the local WSUS server or when you try downloading updates directly from Windows Update on the Internet. When you try to connect to the Windows server to download the latest updates, the system cannot establish a connection, hence the error message that is shown on your screen.
That is one of the main reasons Windows Update shows error 80072ee2. Windows could not search for recent updates. It means, ERROR_INTERNET_TIMEOUT (-2147012894). The request has been timed out, and Windows cannot access Microsoft Update or WSUS servers.
