Hi,

 

Most acceptable and effective solution for this issue is to reinstallation of the Windows seven OS on your PC. You may get more solutions or different ways to fix this issue, but I strongly recommended you to repair or finish custom setup of your windows seven OS again.

 

After finish a successful setup of your Windows seven in your PC, just try to upgrade your windows by click on Windows Update. Then turn off your automatic upgrade option in your PC. Hope you won’t face this form of issue in the future. This remedy is not only for windows seven, you can do the same process for Windows XP too for fix this form of issue.

 

Thanks.

Hai Shock,

If you receive Windows Update error 80072ee2 while checking for updates, the Windows Update servers might be experiencing an unusually high number of requests for updates. Close Windows Update, wait 10 to 15 minutes, and then run Windows Update again. If you continue to receive error 80072ee2, you might need to add some Windows Update website addresses to your firewall's exceptions or "allow" list.

 

Here are the Windows Update websites to add in to firewall exception list:

• http://*.update.microsoft.com
• https://*.update.microsoft.com
• http://download.windowsupdate.com

After adding, try to update again. If failed leave a reply here!

 

Hope these helped.
