Hi,

My PC is running Windows 8.1 updated.  Last got an automatic update was Sep 24, but the system checked yesterday.  This morning I clicked on check for updates now and got the dreaded red X with error 801901F7.

What is the problem?  What can I do to remedy short of reinstalling software?

Thank you very much

Just tried it at 6:45pm EDT and did not get the error -- so I guess it was a Microsoft error

    I'd agree, got the same problem. Hope MS is speedy with the fix! This gets old fast...

    Must be a Microsoft-side issue. Too many people having the same problem.

    Got the same exact problem with our Surface 2 Pro running W8.1.
