Unable to update my PC - error 0x80244022

Since November 2019 I'm unable to update my PC. Windows update give me the error 0x80244022

At the moment I download and install the update from Microsoft Update Catalog.

Windows is licenced and the control panel say is active.

Any suggestion?

Solution 1:

If you are seeing Error Code 80244022 when trying to run Windows Update on either a workstation or server then it’s likely that computer had its updates deployed via WSUS or a similar patch deployment platform.

From time to time the link between the computer and the patch deployment management service will break triggering Error Code 80244022 whenever you try and check for new updates from the desktop of the computer.

How to fix Windows Update Error Code 80244022

If Windows Updates is no longer being managed by WSUS or a similar platform then the fix is rather easy.

Open registry editor by clicking Start menu –> Run and typing regedit – click OK

Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU

Modify the value of UseWUServer and change it from 1 to 0. The zero disables Windows Updates from using WSUS.

Now go into Services.msc and restart the Windows Update Service. You should now be able to check for new available Windows Updates.
