Windows Update Error - 80243004

Found this article over here.

If you the error 80243004 I was running the Server under VMWare, not sure if this affects anything, but the article mentioned above has a very strange solution that worked. I am also behind a proxy that is password protected.

1 - Go to Taskbar properties by right-click on the taskbar and selecting properties.
2 - Go to the Customize Tab
3 - Click on the Customize button.
4 - Check mark the "Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar"
5 - Click OK and try again.

I know very weird that something for displaying would affect the windows update, but it does. It worked for me.

This is all for right now.

God bless,
Bruno
