Hey Guys,

I need a little help. Whenever I turn on my laptop i get the windows security error popup thingy saying that automatic updates are switched off. When I try to enable it I get this error: Windows Update encountered an unknown error. The code of the error is 80070424.

I have tried various fixes such as running REGSVR32 %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\WUAUENG.DLL and regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll, but these only last until i restart my laptop.

Please Help Me.

Is There A Permanent Fix???

Thanks a lot

I Have followed these steps:
Click Start >> Run >>
Type the follow command in the Open box.
"net.exe stop wuauserv" (w/o quotes)
Press Ok

Repeat the same for the following commands:

regsvr32.exe wuapi.dll
regsvr32.exe wups.dll
regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll
regsvr32.exe wucltui.dll
regsvr32.exe MSXML3.dll
regsvr32.exe qmgr.dll
regsvr32.exe qmgrprxy.dll
net.exe start wuauserv
But regsvr32.exe wucltui.dll and regsvr32.exe qmgr.dll failed.
I will restart and see if there is any change.
