Error Code 80248015

I had the same problem yesterday with the error code. Went on WU this morning and all seems to be working again on both my machines. I didn't do anything so seems Microsoft got things working.

Just as an aside ... 12 months ago I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 64, and W 10 refused to work properly for weeks ... contacted Microsoft and spent hours with them trying to resolve ... they eventually accepted defeat..... they admitted upgrades were not always successful and they would return me to W 7.

This they also tried, but as they could not recognise W 7 Product Code attached to my PC ( despite emailing a photograph to them) this meant a download to USB stick ( on another computer ) and a re-installation of W 7.... which then worked !

So now I can't re-install W7, as I have no Product Code that works on either .. and have error code 80248015 which still isn't, or looks like being, corrected.

Not going to Windows 10 to only get the same problems, can't update anything on Windows 7 ... where next ... Apple ?

Try what I did. Put back the date to the 3rd ( or even the 2nd ).

open windows update , run "look for updates"

When it finishes , close it, put back the date to today. Reopen windows update

The issue is already fixed by Microsoft on server. No action needed, it works for me.

Switched on my PC and was able to update MSE definitions through MSE's 'Update Definitions' button again after the new cab was installed. Strangely enough, my PC reverted to having the 'Check for updates for other Microsoft products' checkbox already ticked, like it was before I renamed my SoftwareDistribution folder.

Not sure if that's normal, but it's working as intended now.
