    Unable to Search for Updates - Error 0x8007042c


    I recently upgraded to Windows 10 on my Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop from Windows 7. After updating, I'm unable to check on updates. I get:

    There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x8007042c)

    Looking online, I find this has something to do with the firewall. I tried the following as suggested, but it did not resolve my problem:

    error code 0x8007042c when running Windows Update

    I am getting an error code 0x8007042c when trying to run Windows Update in Windows 10. Microsoft says the problem is with the Firewall or Defender. Both are fine. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
