I get the same error message 0X80072F8F which will not allow me to install
Window updates. Did you receive any fix for the problem?

0x80072F8F -2147012721

One or more errors were found in the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate sent by the
server.
NB: Also make sure you're in the correct time zone.


When searching for available updates on the Update site, you see the 0x80072F8F error
while looking for available updates
