Are you receiving this whilst Updating is in progress ???

If so when was your computer last updated ???

There were some Critical Updates related to SHA-2 and the Service Stack Update ( SSU ) and if these were not installed the computer could no longer update and could produce this ERROR.

Refer to the MS Link below.

If so i would suggest to turn updating to : never check for updates.

The reason i suggest this is that Windows 7 is at its EOL ( end of life Jan 14, 2020 ).

No further support for Windows 7.

To continue to use Windows 7 :

Run a quality Anti Virus and complement this with a quality Anti Malware product.
Avoid going to dodgy sites.
Dont respond to any e-mail if you dont know the sender.
Be wary of doing Internet Banking and or transactions.

As for the ERROR :

From the WEB.

If you get Windows Update error 0x80092004 on Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2. ... The error associated with the error code, CRYPT_E_NOT_FOUND, suggests that Windows Update rejects the updates because cryptographic values that the update packages contain are not found.
