Error Code 80248015

Hi

Had no Error code, but was warned by german site ComputerBild  ( Windows 7 update blocked )  on 05-12-2017, then tried to start WU: WU didn't even run and I had to abort it in task manager. Date back to 02-12-2017, set to manual WU, unchecked "updates fore other MS products", tried again, and then WU worked, got updates released even after 02-12-2017, with the fixed authcab.cab file, but check box for other MS products was lost. Set microsoft.com in IE compatibility tools, went to borncity.com.... as above, and re-installad MS Silverlight albeit I had the last version installed in June 2017. Very strangely, Silverlight size was over 700 MB before, and now 50,7 MB in installed programs (buggy installation ?). Lost check boxes return in WU and all works fine.

Was not aware of the need of MS Silverlight for WU and MSUpdate running trouble-free. 

Wonder what happened without these manual fixes, why that mess ?

Thanks for your help.

To avoid a mistake: dates are December 2 and 5, 2017, European format.

Tried to be sure of correct working 2/3 times yesterday ... all is well ... just tried again this a.m. ... can update Defender ( now faster than before  ) and W update also working .... in both cases auto updates received, installed and showing in Updates.

Go here...http://borncity.com/win/2017/12/05/windows7-fix-broken-update-error-0x80248015-12-4-17/

& install Microsoft silverlight following the instructions in the post.

It will come back ASAP.

When I unchecked option 3 it disappeared so I think you 2nd computer probably already had that unchecked, but I'm not sure.

I hope someone else can help you with the 2nd computer as that's all the information I have. (Glad to hear one computer is back working OK again though)
