Windows Update Failed Error Ref 80072F8F
Posted by CDaze on December 12th, 2009
More of operator head space and timing error. In all the changes to the BIOS trying to fix the ATI BSOD I cleared the CMOS and pulled all the power to the system. The system clock reset back to 2006… Windows update does not like your PC being too much out of sync. Update the system clock to the current time and everything should be back to normal.
One odd thing was there was no updates detected. This was a fresh install and I know there was a few updates available. Waited a few minutes and went directly to the Windows update through IExplorer (Saftey drop menu) and the Windows update in the control panel popped back up with all the available updates.
