When I go to the windows update website, I get the following error message:

Microsoft Update

The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are

trying to view. The options below might help you solve the problem.

 

For self help options:

Frequently asked questions

Find solutions

Windows update newsgroup

 

For assisted support options:

Microsoft online assisted support (no cost for windows update issues)

Read more about steps you can take to resolve this problem (error number

0x8024402C) yourself.

 

I did some research on the error code and the fixes mentioned are to remove

characters from the proxy exception list and then clearing the proxy cache.

In my case, there are no characters to remove from the proxy exception list

to begin with because the list is blank and clearing the proxy cache does not

solve the issue. I noticed that there are other posts on here that bring up

the same issue that I have. Something is preventing me from seeing windows

updates. The website has always worked for me.

You would probably get better help from the fine folks on the newsgroup

microsoft.public.windowsupdate.

Re: Updating windows xp

 

Hello dell2350,

 

Some updates bring the update page to stop. Try this way, stop automatic

update service under services .msc from the run line. Delete the c:\windows\softwaredistribution

folder, start the service, the folder will be rebuilded and try again with

the update page from MS.

 

Best regards
