Error code when downloading updates Error Code: 0x80240017

What do I need to do to get past this error code and download the updates

 

0x80240017 - -2145124329 - SUS_E_NOT_APPLICABLE
install is not needed because no updates are applicable


If that's not the case and you are sure you need updates, then perhaps
rename the
SoftwareDistribution folder.
You will lose you update history (not important)

To rename the SoftwareDistribution folder

Click Start, Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Stop.
Stopping the service will take a moment.

Rename the "SoftwareDistribution" folder:
a. Click Start, click Run, type: %systemroot%
and then click OK.
b. Right-click the SoftwareDistribution folder, and then click Rename.
c. Type SoftwareDistribution.old, and then press ENTER to rename this folder.

Click Start. Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Start.
Starting the service will take a moment.

 

Thank you VERY much for giving me the solution to my problem, it worked perfectly!
