WindowsUpdate_80073712 WindowsUpdate_dt000. Problem.

[PitrPaulus]

Good Day, During manually Windows (Vista) Update: I got the following message:
WindowsUpdate_80073712 WindowsUpdate_dt000. Error 80073712/ Text (tranlated from Dutch) " Cannot look for Windows Update". MS database searched. Also looked in Google and many people had the same problem but -till so far for me- there is not a helping solution. Has anybody had this error also during manually Windows update? I can see in the history of updates that since August 20 there have not been any updates from Microsoft neither for Windows Defnder.
Hope to hear from you. If you reply, pls. make it not too difficult; I 'm just an ordinary computer-user, not a programmer    Thanks, PitrPaulus.

See Microsoft KB or google for it.

Thanks for the answer. As I already wrote, this Microsoft solution is not helpful. I did the " reg delete HKLM\COMPONENTS /v StoreDirty" but this solution doesn't work. Also looked in Google and many people had the same problem but -till so far for me- there is not a helping solution.
