Error 0x80072EFD when trying to update.

Every time I try to get my updates I get an error 0x80072EFD. It would be
nice if Microsoft would include what a person is to do if things like this
happen. We are not all Bill Gates and do not have the technicians that he
has available to solve some of these problems. If anyone can help me, I would
sure appreciate it. Thanks
