Windows could not search for new updates.  Error Code 80072EE2 - Windows Update encountered an unknown error. 

I have a Dell Inspiron computer running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, with Service Pack 1. This problem started about 1 week ago. Prior to that automatic updates were working as per schedule.

Close Windows Update, wait 10 to 15 minutes, and then run Windows Update again. You can also wait for Windows Update to run at its next scheduled time.
