The main reason behind the error can be cookies. It shows this if it is unable to renew the cookies. Run disk cleanup and delete all files including cookies. Delete the codes in the software distribution folder and restart the system and to download the updates now. If it won’t work, then try by performing system file checker and then run deployment imaging and servicing management tool to restore corrupted files.

You may receive error code “0x80244007” when installing a Windows Update and among Windows Update errors, this error is one of the toughest to fix because it halts the Windows Update process and restarting the computer doesn’t help. The description of the error is:
“SOAP client failed because there was a SOAP fault for reasons of WU_E_PT_SOAP_* error codes”
The main reason behind this error is because Windows is not able to renew the cookies for Windows Update. To fix the problem, try deleting temporary files. Download the free version of CCleaner and install it. Once installed, start CCleaner and clean your system. This should remove all temporary files as well as browser cache and cookies.
If this doesn’t work, try renaming the Software Distribution folder. Click “Start”, “Control Panel”, “Administrative Tools” then double-click “Services”. In “Services” window, scroll down to the bottom and look for the “Windows Update” service then select it. If the service is running, click “Stop”.
After this, open Windows Explorer then navigate to “C:\Windows”. Scroll down and locate the “SoftwareDistribution” folder then rename it to something like without quotes “SoftwareDistributionOld”.
Next, start the Windows Update service then restart the computer. Try installing the update again. If the problem continues, try using the Online Windows Update Troubleshooter.
