Windows errors are notoriously difficult to solve, 80072ee2 error in windows update especially the windows update ones, because they all returning a general message without further information.

When you try to connect to the windows server to download the latest updates, the system is unable to establish a connection, hence the error message that is displayed on your screen. Possible solutions for the windows update error 80072ee2: Solution 1 Check if you are using a proxy server. If you do, double check the settings http://theitbros.com/how-to-solve-the-windows-update-error-80072ee2/ in the Internet Explorer and make sure that the proxy does not require a username or password to connect. If it does, the easiest way is to disable the proxy server during the duration of the windows update, although you can also create a workaround by setting your firewall to allow the connection to the Windows Update directly without going through the proxy. Solution 2 If your computer has been infested with spyware in the past — or it is at the moment — then the spyware might have modified your Internet Explorer settings to use a proxy server. Open the cmd.exe program (by typing CMD in the start menu) and issue the following command: netsh winhttp import proxy source=ie Read also: Activation error 0xC004F034 after the upgrade to Windows 10 Solution 3 Some dll files might have become unregistered — due to various factors — which could trigger the windows update error 80072ee2.

Jalapeno QixxNet Jul 24, 2012 at 04:49pm Thank you for this entry. I have tried everything Microsoft has suggested along with a few other sites and nothing has worked. Decided I would check error 80072ee2 SW and the first hit worked. Brand new machine out of the box and all the other machines in the building have no problems so I knew it was not a firewall problem. Thank you again! Poblano Spacelord_Guido Feb 20, 2013 at 11:58am Thanks Rodney0872, your fix works. I found a different solution in my network: We use Microsoft System Center Essentials to distribute Updates, it turned error 80072ee2 windows out that this Server was restarted but no one logged on to the System so MSC did not work properly. we restarted the MSC Server and the Updates on all computers work again just fine. I tried your fix on 1 Computer and it canceled the MSC agent. This made me think and i checked our MSC-Server So bottemline if you use MSC for Updates look there first. I hope this will help someone =0) Anaheim Loughlan Aug 12, 2014 at 12:51am I had this issue. I reset IE, Checked for infections, checked hosts file, updated group policy, flushed dns, ran the windows update troubleshooter... Nothing would fix it. I then checked the %SYSTEMROOT%\Windowsupdate.log file. It advised that I was talking to a WSUS server at http://SERVER:8530 Added a firewall rule to allow port 8530 inbound on the server. Voila, updates worked.
