Mow, I am running build 7000, have assured that Update is Auto(delayed, BITS is manual), and I have attempted (and successfully ran) the repair.bat as described in KB958043... Any other suggestions on how to correct error code 80070422 from Windows Update? EDIT: WinUpdate was previously successful... Jeff P.

Try setting Windows Update to Automatic instead of Automatic (Delayed Start) and see if that resolves the error. You can also try the Windows Update Troubleshooter in Control Panel to see if it can resolve the error. Open Control Panel, click the All Control Panel Items link, then scroll to and click on Troubleshooting. Under System and Security click on " Fix problems with Windows Update ". Click Advanced towards the bottom of the window and then click on 'Run as administrator'. Then click the Next button. Let us know if this helps resolve the error, Jeff.
