Asked By Natanne Lopes 20 points N/A Posted on - 11/26/2020

When I try to update Windows 10 using the Windows update center, I encounter the 800072ee2 error. I ran the troubleshooter, then restarted the services, renamed the software distribution folder, and turned off the firewall, but could not solve the error. Is there any other way to fix the error?
