Scroll down to and click on the link for "While the Windows Update Web site
is loading, you receive Initialization Error 0x80072F76".

Make sure you haven’t got anything blocking Windows Update like Nortons, Zonealarm
etc
Also make sure you don’t have a Web Accelerator working in the background such as
NetZerio, HiSpeed, Speedband etc.

I am getting the same error. Last worked a few weeks ago.
Nothing I have is blocking Windows Updates. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi, Help I can't even find WU, even through search. Why would Zone Alarm
block WU and should I turn ZA off which would help me find WU?
Thanks

Comments from Garry about ZA

<snip>
I run ZoneAlarmPro and, normally, when a site is blocked by ZA in some way,
ZA raises a Privacy Alert. However, in this case, the various trusted
Microsoft sites involved in the current Windows Update system did NOT raise a
privacy alert that ZA was inhibiting ActiveX or Scripts from running (my
default). When I enabled these 2 code items in ZA for the sites
- download.windowupdate.com (NOTE the 's' missing from 'windowsupdate' -
don't ask me why)
and for
- support.microsoft.com,
Windows Update started to behave more normally (without any error), although
WU now wants to download a new Update system.

The fact that I was not warned ZA was blocking code from the WU sites is
probably a fault in ZoneAlarm, perhaps related to Trusted sites. Other
Privacy alerts were displaying at the time for microsoft sites, but not code
Privacy alerts. I will report it to ZoneLabs.
