How to Fix Windows Update Error Code 80072ee2 on Windows 10

Updating Windows helps the operating system to install the most recent security updates and bug fixes. Thus, ensuring that your machine functions well with as much safety as possible. The update process is occasionally unable to finish. This results in Windows update-related problems rather than the resolution of other issues. When you connect to a Windows server to get the latest updates, and the computer is unable to connect, Windows update error 80072ee2 message appears on your screen.

Why does Windows Update Error 80072ee2 Occur?

This error means that the Windows Update servers are overburdened with requests for updates from users. This issue occurs when:

• Operating system files are corrupt or
• Windows PC updates are stalled.

The error 80072ee2 causes your Windows device to freeze, crash, and might also infect your PC with a virus.

Preliminary Checks

1. Make sure that the computer is still hooked up to the internet and has enough battery life. Otherwise, it may lose connectivity or shut down before the program has finished downloading and installing. Such interruptions, too, can create update issues.

2. As malicious software can create problems, keep your system security software up to date and run a malware scan from time to time.

3. Check for available space on the hard drives.

4. Make sure that the correct time and date are set before allowing Windows Update to use it.

This article contains step-by-step methods for resolving the Code 0x80072ee2 problem in Windows Update.

Note: These solutions also work for error codes 8024400A and 8024400D.

Method 1: Run Windows Update Troubleshooter

The Windows update troubleshooter examines all of your computer settings and registries, compares these to Windows update requirements, and then suggests solutions to fix Windows update error 80072ee2.

Note: Before running the troubleshooter, make sure you are logged in as an administrator.

1. To open the Start menu search bar, press Windows + S keys together.

2. In the dialogue box, type troubleshoot and click on the first result that appears.

3. Select Windows Update from the troubleshooting menu. 

4. Then, click on the Run the troubleshooter button.

Method 2: Review Microsoft Official Documentation

For Windows operating system, you might need to examine Microsoft official documentation. Some updates appear to have been superseded by the latest operating system updates. Hence, you will first need to confirm if these new rules apply to you.

1. Windows has published official documentation that explains how to resolve this error. Read, verify and implement them thoroughly.

2. Finally, restart your Windows 10 PC. The error should have been resolved. 

Method 3: Run SFC, DISM & CHKDSK Scans

If Windows Update error code 80072ee2 still persists, you’ll need to look for alternate options. Windows system utility tools include:

• DISM, which looks for missing and damaged Windows system files.
• SFC, on the other hand, looks for faults in Windows system files,
• whereas CHKDSK looks for errors throughout the whole disc.

Hence, we will run these tools to repair/rectify this issue as follows:

1. In the Start menu, type Command Prompt and click on Run as administrator.

2. Type the following commands and hit Enter key after each:

DISM /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth

DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Note: Allow for the completion of the command. Depending on your device health, the procedure might take up to 20 minutes. Wait for the process to finish even though it appears to be stalled at times.

3. Once completed, type sfc /scannow command and hit Enter, as depicted.

4. After that, type the command chkdsk /r and hit Enter.

The program will check your device for flaws and will correct problems it is able to detect.

Note 1: Erroneously deleting registry keys might result in major issues. It is advised that you back up registry keys before proceeding. If necessary, you may then restore the removed registry keys.

Note 2: It should be noted that not all users will have the registry key installed on their machine because they are using Windows in a Home setting. This essentially means that home users will not have access to the key.
