I have gone through many troubleshooters and it ends up being one after the next. I haven't been able to update my pc since going to college about 8 months ago and I'm finally home, and I still can't fix the issue. I get no problems with the windows update troubleshooter, so i checked the internet connections troubleshooter and I get error code 0x8007042 on top of the windows update error - 0xc8000fa

    In the Services manager, locate Network List Service. Right-click it and choose Restart.

    you should also make sure that all of the following services are running:

    BitLocker Drive Encryption Service
