I am trying to update my computer from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.  Every time I run the Windows Update I get an error message.  The most recent one is "Code 80244017 Windows Update ran into a problem."  I have tried running Windows Defender and Windows malware detector with no malicious files found.  No connection problems can be detected and I tried all the troubleshooting and setting Internet Explorer as the default browser.  What else can I do?

    netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="myproxy.domain:80" bypass-list="*.domain;<local>"

    Select the keyboard shortcut Win+X, and click Command Prompt (Admin) on the drop down menu. Type *cd* and press ENTER. Type or paste **netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="myproxy.domain:80" bypass-list="*.domain;<local>"**and press the ENTER key.

    Restart the computer and try updating Windows.
