Guest AliceZ Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Yesterday when I signed on with my Vista and went to Critical Updates, I saw there was an update: Windows update agent 7.2.6001.788 I clicked OK for the download. When the download finished, I was immediately transferred out of Critical Update page and back to my Google page. I looked in the Update History and saw the the Windows Update Agent was successfully installed. Today when I turned on the Vista, I saw that it was going through steps 1-3 (saying please do not turn off computer). When the steps 1-3 finished, the computer screen came on. I went again to Critical Update, but it would not go through. I kept getting this message: windows could not search for new updates error(s) found code 80244022 Windows update encountered an unknown error What is going on? Quote
Guest ~BD~ Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Hi Alice I'm not one of the gurus you seek ............ but I have seen it stated that "the 80244022 error seems to be corrected by clearing browser cache". Maybe you should delete your Temporary Internet Files (TIF) and see if that corrects your problem. I'm sure someone else will help you if my suggestion doesn't help.

Guest AliceZ Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 This is happening on my Vista machine. Are you referring to Vista also? Could you tell me on which board you found my (this) message? I can't find original posting on Vista Security and I think I might have posted to a different board. Thank you.

Guest ~BD~ Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 I did understand you to be using Vista, Alice. style_emoticons/ Your message, and my response, were on the 'microsoft.public.security' newsgroup. There is another Microsoft group dealing with Update problems - microsoft.public.windowsupdate, to which I am now cross-posting your enquiry. I hope this helps!

Guest PA Bear [MS MVP] Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 0x80244022 = SUS_E_PT_HTTP_STATUS_SERVICE_UNAVAIL Http status 503 - temporarily overloaded This error usually means that the Windows Update servers are swamped, Alice. Assuming Automatic Updates (AU) is enabled, AU should download/install this update silently and in the background. In fact, it may have already done so by now. Wait a day or so then try running Windows Update manually again.
