Image via WikipediaI understand you receive an error message 0x80072EFE when trying to installing update from the Windows Update website. This kind of issue may be caused by hardware/software firewalls or proxy server or Windows category files are corrupted. Let’s try the following steps to resolve this issue.
Step 1: Check background programs.
=======================
Disable firewalls or other Internet browser programs that can affect the Internet connection. The following programs can affect the connection to the Windows Update site and I suggest you remove or disable them:
McAfee firewall
Norton Internet Security
Zone Alarm Firewall
Panda firewall
Step 2: Delete the CatRoot2 folder
=======================
A: Stop Cryptographic Services:
1. Click Start, click Run, type in "SERVICES.MSC" and press Enter.
2. Double click Cryptographic Services, and then click Stop (if it has been started).
B: After stopping Cryptographic Service, please delete the "Catroot2" folder:
1. Locate the "C:\Windows\System32\" folder.
2. Delete the Catroot2 subfolder in System32.
Note: I am assuming your Windows Vista is installed in C:\Windows.
C: Re-start Cryptographic Services:
1. Click Start, click Run, type in "SERVICES.MSC" and press Enter.
2. Double click Cryptographic Services, and then click Start.
After performing the above steps, please visit the Windows Update website and check the available update.
Hope this helps.
