Error 80072f8f when updating windows 7 x64 how to fix?

Question

Windows

When updating windows 7 64x, error 80072f8f appears, of course, through the Windows update center.
I didn’t find it on the Internet, and I also tried many times to set the date and restart it, since on the Internet it says about this error that the error can only be solved by changing the date ... but I set everything up and everything is correct, but is there another way how to solve this error? I don't want to reinstall Windows...

Answer 1

So-so advice, but that's what I usually do when an update starts acting weird.
Stop the "WIndows Update" and "Background Intelligent Data Transfer (BITS)"
services Demolish the contents of the "c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\" directory
Start the "WIndows Update" and "Background Intelligent Data Transfer (BITS)" services
If the update fails WSUS, which can also have its own glitches, usually helps.
