    Windows Update Error Code 80244019 - Serious Problem

    Everytime I try to update I get this code, I looked on these forums and found a way to fix it by going to Regedit and navigating to:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]



    Then selecting dword value:

    "UseWUServer"=dword:00000001"

    and change the value to 0.

    Then reboot.

    However I have two problems:

    1. In Regedit when I am following those links after Windows I cannot see a WindowsUpdate link!

    2. Less importantly what does he mean by reboot, is he just saying restart?

    Simple fix:

    Start -> Run -> Regedit.
    Search for "UseWUServer", when the key is found, set the value(dword) to 0.
    Then reboot you machine, IE: restart, power cycle, whatever you want to call it.

    Hope this helps.
