Solving Error Code 0x8024402c For Windows Update

When updating Microsoft Windows using Windows Update, you may get error code “0x8024402C” or “0x8024502D”. This error happens because there is an incorrect character in the proxy override settings. To fix the problem, click “Start,” “Control Panel,” “Network and Internet Connections,” then “Internet Options.” Select “Connections” tab then click “LAN settings” at the bottom.

On the next screen, under “Proxy server” section, click “Advanced”.

In “Proxy Settings” screen, delete any entry in the “Exceptions” section then click “OK” all throughout.

After this, click “Start,” “All Programs,” “Accessories”, and then “Command Prompt.” In the command prompt window, enter the following commands one after the other then hit Enter after every command:

• proxycfg -d
• net stop wuauserv
• net start wuauserv
