Question:

When trying to access the MS Windows Update pages for new updates, the error message: “0x80072EFD” appears and I am unable to run any MS Windows updates.

Response:

To solve this problem, enable port 80 (http) for the application “svchost.exe” (under c:/windows/system32). You can find this in the firewall under “Networks”. Double-click on the network you are using, select “Edit rule” and then the option “Open or block a specific Internet service (port)”. Now restart your computer.
