Be more specific. You are posting in a thread which is over a year old.
Since that time there have been changes to the version of WU that
most people use. E.g. the OP was using WUv4. You may now be using
WUv6 (e.g. as determined by the URL which ends up in your Address bar.)
Hence the diagnostics that you should use may be completely different
from the ones that were commonly used then.
In any case you can find suggestions made to users of both versions
using the web interface to newsgroups that you are using.

(newsgroup search for
0x80072EFF MVP
)
(An answer from TaurArian before she was awarded MVP.
I just marked it as both helpful and one which answered the question.
The search actually captured Patti Macleod's response to a different
code (or a typo) in a thread which was labeled with your code. <w>)
Hint: Although the marking system is currently not well used
often you can find relevant suggestions in here simply by
pressing Alt-7 and typing in your search term plus either MSFT
or MVP.
