    Paul,

    0x80240022 Your PC might have an out-of-date certificate.

    Run <<Disk Cleanup>*>*and delete (at least) Temporary files, Offline webpages and Temporary Internet Files as this will reduce scanning times by security software –clear your cache, cookies, and history, press Ctrl-Shift-Delete – then shut down and restart your computer.

    Download any available updates. See Microsoft KB article 924123 for more information.

    First, verify that the time, date/year & time-zone are set correctly

    <<http://goo.gl/ElJr9v>> Reboot if you changed any of the above.

    Restart your PC and run Windows Update. - Are you receiving the same error ??.

    Delete all folders from the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download directory.

    This is likely system file damage or corruption.

    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

    After running the Repair, reboot & test.

    Pləase let us know if this did or didn't help to resolve your problem.
