code error 80072EFE

Operating system. vista 64 home premium.
Laptop Asus K51ACseries.
I have been trying windows update many times. I have gone through different
forums to see if there is a fix.
My fault code is 80072EFE. I even downloaded and used regcure after a
suggestion from forum message.
I am about ready to **** off windows altogether in a big way. They just get
more complicated and harder to fix faults.

Mick

I suggest read the solution here:

Robin Meng (MSFT) posted a comprehensive solution and he should know because
of his involvement with development. Please print the entire message as it
goes into many things you need to do.

Ok.. I see none of that is going to work. I have now manually updated files.
This works ok. I guess windows is in the end going to slit there own throat.
Windows is the worse virus I have ever had.
I also had host process shutting down on me but I managed to fix that. Still
trying to work out how I did it. After 2 hours of doing different stuff and
rebooting, I am none the wiser.

Time to get some sun shine... cheers Mick

Hi Mick,

Would be nice if you could tell us more information, like what antivirus or
antimalware software you may have installed, Security suite and firewall,
you're using etc.

Fo�got to say

Stay away from that forum


The only real way to clean the regist�y is to reinstall the OS.

Always state your full Windows version (e.g., Vista SP1; Vista 64-bit SP2)
when posting in a forum or newsgroup. Please do so in your next reply.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the
computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?
