There is a strange error message which I receive when I try to perform Windows Update.
I have not had any issues before on my Windows Vista machine. Recently, when I tried to update Windows I faced the following error message:
Windows could not search for new updates
An error occurred while checking for new updates for your computer.
Error(s) found:
Code 80072EFDÂ Windows Update encountered an
                 unknown error.
                 Get help with this error
I checked the Windows Server Update Services and everything works fine. Is there anything that I can do, to make sure that my Windows are up to date?

The update error occur because of many Issues. the most commonly issue is that the window is not registered with the Microsoft organization means the window that are using and try to update is pirated copy. the pirated copy gives many error during updating, and the other disadvantage of pirated copy is that it does not provide the security solution for the users.
To solve your problem what you have to do you should first check that your window is pirated or registered with Microsoft Organization. If your window is register then you can click on the link at the given picture and report to Microsoft for the error. thanks

Windows Vista Error Code 80072EFD: Could not find new updates
The error code 80072EFD is usually caused by a large amount of update requests causing the Windows Update servers to slow down. This can be overcome by closing the Windows Update and waiting 10 to 20 minutes, and then trying again, or rescheduling the update for a different time.
If that does not remedy the situation, you may have something running on your computer that prevents the Windows Update Services from gaining access to the internet. You may need to add the Windows Update website to the appropriate program’s exceptions. Possible programs that can do that are firewalls, security and antivirus programs, proxy servers, etc.
