Windows Update Error 80072efd
Hey I have been trying to use windows update but get error 80072efd, I have tried pretty much every suggestion I could find around the net from changing internet options to looking at the hosts file, I don't have a firewall other than the windows one, I'm not using a router, and my internet connection is working fine. Any ideas?

Windows Firewall should be letting you through....check what other programs you have installed, to see if one of them may be blocking you from the server.

Turning off Windows Firewall and UAC isn't the problem. Leave those settings alone
