EASY & FAST FIX that I found on internet after 2 days of searching.

Click on:

Control Panel

System & Security

Windows Update

Change settings

Go to 3rd option "Give me updates for Microsoft products and check for new optional Microsoft software when I update Windows" and uncheck this option.

Click OK and close the Windows Update window then reopen & the error should be gone & Windows should be able to update as before. Mine was back to normal right away.

Apologies if this warrants a new thread, but since this is related to this issue, I thought I should post here first. Please bear with my explanation as English is not my native language.

So, I'm on Windows 7, and I received this same 80248015 error earlier today when trying to update MSE. Upon opening Windows Update I was unable to get updates because 'the service is not running'. I panicked, since viruses seem to do the same thing, which is shutting down Windows Update first to prevent patches. Looked up solutions online and found one that involved renaming the SoftwareDistribution folder to softwaredistribution.old. After I did so, Windows Update started working again, so I thought it was a corrupt SD folder after all.

I then tried to update MSE definitions again, and it failed with the error code 80242014 instead. I uninstalled MSE, then installed the latest version of it. The initial download of the definitions worked just fine - however, after a restart, the 80242014 error returned when I tried to force a definition update. I also cannot seem to enable the option to get updates for Microsoft products outside of Windows, even after opening the related go.microsoft.com page with Internet Explorer; it just returns a fail message.

Did I mess up something big, or is this also related to the expiry date? If I did mess up, is there any way I can revert the changes I made, since I did not delete my old SofwareDistribution folder?

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

I have the same question
