Hi rophirich

This is what i know about the issue

==========================

What causes Error 0x80070002

# The issue may occur when there are issues related to network connectivity.

# This error may occur if there is a content mismatch in the DataStore folder.
 

To resolve this error, use the following methods:

Resolution Suggestion One:

# Be patient!

The Internet is a dynamic network. Sometimes, it takes more than one attempt for a connection to work.

Typically, you can connect to Windows Update successfully after a short time when this issue occurs!!!
 

---------------------------------

Resolution Suggestion Two:

# Delete the contents of the DataStore folder:

Stop the Automatic Updates service

Click Start.
Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Stop.
Stopping the service will take a moment.

Delete the contents of the DataStore folder

Click Start.
Choose Run.
In the Run box, type %windir%\SoftwareDistribution
Click OK.
Open the DataStore folder.
Delete all contents of the DataStore folder.
Close the window.

Start the Automatic Updates service

Click Start.
Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Start.

Starting the service will take a moment.

 

Reboot your pc, and try windows update again.

Wonder if this is my problem too? I am running VISTA and after an update the computer won't reboot. Look at the thread here for photos of what I see and a little more info. Any help appreciated:
