Many friends found that they could not use Windows Update after setting the date to an earlier year. 3. Use a proxy server (preferably a proxy server in North America) or connect to the update site again in a different time. Many unpredictable network problems will also affect the use of Windows Update. 4. Clear the IE temporary folder, delete all files except the XML file format under C:\\Program Files\\WindowsUpdate\\V4, and confirm whether IE supports ActiveX. 5. Make sure that your computer has port 443 enabled. This port is a dedicated port for SSL (Security Socket Layer). Windows Update will detect the user's local environment (ie click the "View for Update" link). Use this port. 6. Run the "regsvr32 iuctl.dll /u" command to search the iuengine.dll and iuctl.dll files in the system and delete all search results. 7. Copy the error code to the Microsoft site or google search.
