Windows 10: How do I fix windows update error 80072efe in windows 8.1?

Hi.. I'm trying to upgrade from 8.1 to 10, but I keep getting windows update error codes.. The most recent is #80072efe.. I'd greatly appreciate any advice on how to fix this one..

:)

 

error code 80072EFE windows 8.1 will not update

This makes sense if it's about Windows 8

Update Windows 8 Windows Update client to fix error 80072EFE

but the Update Client suggested has issues. Instead of it install KB3013767 right away.

December 2014 update rollup for Windows RT, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2012 - Microsoft Support

Also you'll not be safe even with updates complete.

PLEASE SUGGEST ME

 

Windows 8 failure configuring updates and reverting

I agree 8 is awful! It's not for me though... I replaced a broken screen in a Win 8 laptop that was given to me and I am going to give it for free to someone that can't afford one so they can do homework at home. Yes I took it from 8 to 8.1 back on 10/09/2014. This is what I posted there...

"Great post! I found a similar one. I would like to point out that you may want to edit your OP...

1. Step 1 should read to disable AUTOMATIC updates, not disable manual updates.

2. KB2871398 should really read KB2871389

I would like to say that KB2917499 may also be needed as it was in my case. I also had to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter after installing those 2 updates. After these steps I was able to begin my 8.1 download from the Microsoft store. I don't know if it made a difference or not, but I also went into the Bios and disabled "Secure Boot."

It was a helpful post. Thanks!
