Error Code 80248015

If you are asking if it reverted to the present date automatically, the answer is no.  You have to reset the date to the present manually.

If you are asking, did it still work when the date was reset to the present, the answer is yes,  Once it performed an update using a computer date before the "expiration date", it continued to work when the date was reset to the real date.

Hello -

In an earlier post, unchecking "the third" update a download box was part of an answer offered to the W7 update issue.

Regretably, I did that.

Does anyone know an unobtrusive /  simple way to get it back as the option has not come back when trying a restore to before 4 Dec.

Thanks

MS uses "Long Time Pattern" in the expired authcab file as upper-case T shows in code line:

<ExpiryDate>2017-12-03T11:59:25.5067616-08:00</ExpiryDate> 

normally for UTC time. My PC is now synced to "time.windows.com" again, as before, WU and MSU are fixed for now with a new authcab file issued December 1, 2017, expiring July 1, 2025 and after I re-installed Silverlight albeit I had updated to the last version earlier.

To all those who are trying to change dates, and delete folders etc....

As discussed, did you just try the following first?

From Windows Update....

• In Change Settings select "Never Check for Updates".
• Click OK.
• Manually "Check for Updates".
• If update fails here, reboot and check again (thanks Retired-Telco).
• Go back to Change Settings and select "Install updates Automatically".
• Verify other setting are all as required, including Microsoft Update.
• Click OK.
• Manually "Check for Updates" again.

This has fixed problem, and made updates available again on multiple machines here.

Good luck!

Update:

Here, we had to wait a long time for the Windows Update interface to be available.  In some case it took about 20 minutes or more ! Patience required at each step....

Further Update:

The 5th system this was done on required a reboot mid way. Added to steps above.

I had access to settings in WU (Windows Update) only after date change, no need to delete any files.
