I am experiencing the same problem and am receiving the same error message,
though I do have a firewall and have made the requisite adjustments. What is

Hi,

As I understand you are getting error 0x80072EFD when you try to run latest
windows updates from windows update site. To resolve this issue follow the
knowledge base article given below.

I am attaching the link.

You receive an "Error 0x80072EE2" or "Error 0x80072EFD" error message when
you try to use Windows Update


Please let me know if the workaround given in this knowledge base article
helps!
