[Fixed] Error Code 80072f0d Solution

Solution 1: Run SFC Scan

This solution helps to scan and repair any common errors with Windows components that could be causing the update failure.

1. Press the Windows logo key + X to open the quick access menu.
2. Click “Search” and type cmd.exe. Right-click on Command Prompt and select “Run as Administrator.”
3. In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and press Enter: sfc /scannow
4. Wait for the scan to complete, and then try checking for updates again.

Note: If the scan indicates “Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them,” further repairs may be necessary.

Solution 2: Reset Windows Update Services

If running the SFC scan doesn’t resolve the issue, resetting the Windows Update services may help fix the error.

1. Press the Windows logo key + X, select “Command Prompt (Admin)” to open the command window.
2. Stop the Windows Update services by typing the following command and pressing Enter: NET STOP WUAUSERV
3. Navigate to the root directory (C:\) and locate the Windows folder.
4. Rename the “SoftwareDistribution” folder to “SoftwareDistribution.old.”
5. Restart the Windows Update service by typing: NET START WUAUSERV and pressing Enter.
6. Restart your computer and check for updates again.

If you still experience the error, proceed to try a full Windows Update reset or reinstall Windows.

Solution 3: Repair Office Program

If the error persists, repairing your Office program may resolve any conflicts causing the update failure.

1. Press the Windows logo key + X, and select “Programs and Features.”
2. Locate your Office program, select it, and click the “Change” button.
3. Select the appropriate repair option depending on your version of Office:
   • For Office 2019/2016, choose “Repair” > “Continue.”
   • For Office 2016/2013, select “Quick Repair.”
4. Restart your computer once the repair is complete.

If this doesn’t fix the issue, consider uninstalling and reinstalling the Office program.
