Hi.
I am still having the same issue as described above.
Uninstalling KB2919355 will let me get windows updates from Internet.
But when I install KB2919355 again, the same issue comes back.
I am able to download updates from WSUS, but not from Internet Windows Update.
Does anyone know of a permanent fix to this issue?
