Error Code 80248015

Thanks for your help this procedure solved the problem on all my Windows 7 computers which failed to Update as per this community dialog.

Open Control Panel

Select System

Select Action Center Bottom LHS

Select Troubleshooting (Find and Fix problems)

Select System and Security

Select Fix problems with Windows Update

Run program and at the end it will give you an option to Open Windows Updates, select the choice and hey presto it will now show any Important Updates and Optional Updates pending, your computer is now back to normal and receiving Windows Updates.

do NOT try the fixes.

This is valid for others, too... don't try any of the "old" fixes. This is an issue that only microsoft can solve by issuing a new expiry date for the Windows Update program.

Any manual fix attempt ( aside a possible patch distributed by ms to update the expiry date ) will just risk damaging your windows installation

I see LOADS of people have started receiving this error message TODAY!!! Me too.

MS needs to sort something out QUICKLY

I'm wondering if everyone getting this error message is using windows 7?  That's very important to know!!  If so, then there is something going on with MS as to whether or not they will continue to support windows 7, or how they will continue to support windows 7. 

Yes I am using Windows 7

yes I am

Yes, I'm on W7 and have the same error starting today - I've wasted the whole morning on it.  So, this is good timing for me as, today, I was actively looking to purchase 2 new computers. Always having used Microsoft, I'm now looking at the Apple options.

may it be a simple fix

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT SIMPLE FIX MIGHT BE?
