Windows update error 0x80244022

I get this:

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: (0x80244022)

Windows says: *Some settings are managed by your organization

Solution

  • Override the group policy of your intranet by setting this registry key to 0 in regedit.exe

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU\UseWUServer

    Then restart windows update service (wuauserv).

    If you want to create a .reg file:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
"UseWUServer"=dword:00000000

    Of course if possible, it's better to ask your admin to fix the WUS server to get updates normally.
