My point: error 80072EFE or 80072F76 can be caused by a break in your
internet connection (flaky line, phone interuption). Naturally if a
line disruption is the cause, then a retry is the easiest solution.
OK. The problem persists time for further action, but first:

Recommends You Try SolarWinds Patch Manager (SPM)
With SPM you can push out patches,
which companies such as Mozilla Firefox or Adobe Acrobat provide. The point
is that because WSUS does not do this for non-Microsoft software
updates, you need a good add-on to take care of this task. With
the Patch Manager you can even create your own packages to apply to your
servers or clients.
Run the file and follow the steps to cure the 80072EFE problem.
Once you have rebooted your system, then check for new Windows updates.
General Diagnosis of Error 80072EFE
What I can offer is general principles, such as, pay close attention to the
line number and the precise wording of the error message.
Following the line number, I would turn my attention to permissions, are you logged on as an
administrator? What is the script trying to achieve? Does the file or folder referenced need admin rights?
This is sometimes caused because you are not an Administrator, or do not have
administrator priveleges. A well phrased problem is half of the cure, and in
this case just make sure tht your account has the 'top dog' administrator
priveleges, and is using them.
Once you have logged off an logged on again (as Admin) just re-apply the
Windows Update or hotfix. Incidentally, insufficient rights or
priveleges is a common thread of other types of Access Denied problems in
general, and code 80070005 in particular.
To be frank, I think that most people offering to sell you a registry
cleaner that will cure your 80070005 error are scam merchants. If I am
wrong, and you want to go down that route at leaset pay with card, that way
there is a chance that you can get a refund if I am right and the tool does
nothing useful.

Recommends: WMI Monitor and It's Free!
Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is one of the hidden
treasures of Microsoft operating systems. Fortunately, SolarWinds
have created the
WMI Monitor so that you can examine these gems of
performance information for free. Take the guess work out of which
WMI counters to use for applications like Microsoft Active Directory,
SQL or Exchange Server.
