Will Windows Repair work on Windows 10 and can it fix an 0x8024402f error

<< < (2/3) > >>

In regard to the post by Shane.....  As a former DNS Administrator for the company I worked for before retirement, I had my doubts that this would resolve my problem.  In my case I was using 3 DNS servers (205.152.132.23, 68.94.157.1 and 205.152.37.23) that are the fastest and most reliable public DNS servers for the area in which I live.  For grins I did changes them to 8.8.8.8 and 8.4.4.4 but it didn't make any difference.  I also ran the troubleshooter for connecting to the internet and the troubleshooter for my NIC and nothing was found.  Basically I can download mail to Outlook 2010, I can visit any website that I want and I can download updates to programs I have installed on my PC.  To me this 0x824402f error is either the correct error code and there's some other issue that's denying me access to the server or the error code being reported is not the real error that's taking place and I'm chasing a phantom.  Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

In regard to the post by Boggin....  Someone else pointed to a .NET problem and suggested that I needed to go into control panel and remove v4 of .NET but apparently, Microsoft has included the framework in the Windows 10 build so it no longer shows up as something that can be removed.   

Boggin:
I think .NET Framework v4.5 did away with v4.0 so that must have been for an earlier version of Windows.

Does Event Viewer have anything more specific ?

By the various scans you have run I assume you mean sfc /scannow and the dism/restorehealth ?

Julian:
Hmmm I'm trying to remember where I've encountered this exact error..... Ah what antivirus are you using or what 3rd party program that is running in the background that is using an internet connection. Another thing is your network card updated with the most recent drivers for Windows 10 sounds silly and basic but you never know.  :cheesy:   Another thing is maybe your Windows firewall needs to be reset or if you have a 3rd party firewall set it back to defaults.

I hate it when this happens.....

I've been fighting this 0x8024402f error for days now and today we turned on our computer and, on it's own, the machine decided to check in with the update server on it's own and downloaded 14 updates on the first pass and then after the first restart it downloaded yet another patch on it's own.  I compared the patches that were downloaded on this machine against my laptop who also downloaded several patches today and all 15 patches I have are also on my laptop.  I don't know if, in trying certain suggestions to fix the 0x8024402f error I triggered something that required a cold boot but now things are working and I don't know why.  I would hate it if this whole time the PC was unable to ask for updates until the update server contacted the PC first to establish an update relationship but I guess that might be possible as I don't believe that there were any new updates until today.  Anyway, this is still a mystery and I'm unhappy that I don't have an answer why.

Boggin:
Perhaps MS had switched off Win 10 while they were tinkering under the bonnet (hood - for our friends across the pond :)) and they've just switched it back on again :) - but glad it's fixed whatever did it.
