Error Code 0x80072efe

After completing the Security Update a few days ago, I noticed that the Mail app was not syncing with my Exchange Account. I had no problems syncing my Outlook (.Hotmail.com) account but my Exchange account shows an old password as the current password
and my attempts to change it are futile. When I attempt to sync, I receive a message indicating that I should check my connection to the internet (I have no internet connection issues) and the Error code 0x80072efe. Any suggestions?

      0x80072EFE means the connection to the update servers was aborted. Usually, it is a temporary error but it
      may also indicate that malware is present on the system if this error only starting occurring
      recently.
      
      Be sure you empty temporary internet files and reboot the computer.
      
      Internet Options> General tab> Browsing History> Delete> Put a check mark next to these items: "Preserve Favorites website data", “Temporary Internet Files”, “Cookies”, “History”, “Passwords”, etc.
      
      Reboot
