Hey Guys,

I need a little help. Whenever I turn on my laptop i get the windows security error popup thingy saying that automatic updates are switched off. When I try to enable it I get this error: Windows Update encountered an unknown error. The code of the error is 80070424.

I have tried various fixes such as running REGSVR32 %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\WUAUENG.DLL and regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll, but these only last until i restart my laptop.

Please Help Me.

Is There A Permanent Fix???

Thanks a lot

I Have followed these steps:
Click Start >> Run >>
Type the follow command in the Open box.
"net.exe stop wuauserv" (w/o quotes)
Press Ok

Repeat the same for the following commands:

regsvr32.exe wuapi.dll
regsvr32.exe wups.dll
regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll
regsvr32.exe wucltui.dll
regsvr32.exe MSXML3.dll
regsvr32.exe qmgr.dll
regsvr32.exe qmgrprxy.dll
net.exe start wuauserv
But regsvr32.exe wucltui.dll and regsvr32.exe qmgr.dll failed.
I will restart and see if there is any change.

Argh it turns out that the error message did not come up on restart but it still won't let me enable or use windows update! I now have error code 80070422.

Please help me solve this problem.
