Error Code 80248015

I also have the same problem.Cannot load updates.Everything working fine  until this.error 80248015.Last update worked fine so it happened then.

UNSUBSCIBE ME!!!

I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING YET EMAILS WILL NOT STOP!!!

!!!!!!! PLEASE !!!!!!!

Automatic update is also working in the next month after the correction.

I just now checked Win Update manualls and noticed anupdate to Net Framework.  After installing it, Update now works automatically.

Thank you for the Manual suggestion.  That worked when I used it yesterday.

Sounds like you already found the solution, but this is what worked for me and a couple of others running Windows 7 Pro:

Hi

For Windows 7 (Pro)  with error message: 

"Windows Update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not runnning. You may need to restart your computer."

Sounds like your error is the same type I had.  I guess there is an expired microsoft certificate that is the problem.

I am by no means a computer expert, but did find a quick fix that worked on my computer, and also on a friend's computer.

(I found the info on a blog)  This is what I did:

1-Go to the windows start button

2-Click on Control Panel (on the right, in the blue shaded area)

3-Click System and Security

4-On Windows Update, click turn automatic updating on or off

5-Under Important Updates, next to the Green Shield, click the drop down menue

6-From that drop down list, click never check for updates, even tho it says not recommended

7-Click okay

To then get updates

Repete steps 1, 2 and 3

Under Windows Update, click check for updates

My computer then successfully checked for the updates, and I installed them.

Then, you can go back to the drop down menue in step 5 and change it back to install updates automatically, or to one of ther other options

Hope this helps
