OK, then open the registry and check if this key is present:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
If yes, delete the windowsupdate key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate

ok sid i did that still the erra code is 80244019 and it says windows cannot search for new updates its been a month

OK, then let's try something else, but i do not know if it will work with home version?
Click Start, type in the search bar: mmc.exe then press Enter.
In the console click File / Add Remove Snap-in and find "Group Policy Object Editor", add to Local machine and click OK.
In Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Update, have a look if something is configured, if it is, double click and set it as "Not Configured".
Close, reboot and try WU.
EDIT:
BTW, did you reboot (you have to) after modifying the registry key?
