Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I tried restarting, clearing
everything in Internet Explorer, and changing how the certificates are
checked (may have missed a setting). The code shows as 80096004,
from Microsoft.
- Windows Update has been failing for the past month with code 80096004.
- No errors in the application or system logs.
- Windows update log shows the following:
From the Windows Update Log
