JSI Tip 7563. Windows Update reports that new updates are not available?


When you connect to the Windows Update site, new updates are not available, even though your computer is NOT up to date.

If you view the %SystemRoot%\Windows Update.log file, it contains an entry similar to:

<Date and Time> Error IUENGINE Querying software update catalog from https://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/getmanifest.asp (Error 0x800C0008)
To fix this problem:

1. Start Internet Explorer.

2. Type https://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/getmanifest.asp into the Address box and press Enter.

3. If you receive a certificate not availble, press Yes to connect.

4. On the Internet Explorer Tools menu, press Windows Update.

5. Press Scan for Updates on the Windows Update Web page.
