Windows Help and support advice is difficult

As a measure against this error code, Windows help and support are written to manually add Windows Update related site to Windows Firewall permission site.

If Windows Update Error 80072ee2 occurs while checking for updates, you may need to add the address of the Windows Update Web site that downloads updates to the firewall exception list or "allow" list.

Windows Firewall is included with this version of Windows and the following sites must already be included in the list of exceptions. If you want to use a different firewall, refer to the instructions that came with the software and add the following website to the firewall exception list.

http://*.update.microsoft.com
https://*.update.microsoft.com
http://download.windowsupdate.com

Quote: Windows Help and Support

Firewall does not matter

The following description given in Windows Help and Support is different from the actual operation procedure, so there are not many people who can reach the correct answer.

" Add the following site to the firewall exceptions list. "

Maybe it is an effect that translated English sentence, but if you receive it along the face value it will fit in the crucible.

How to fix Windows Update 80072EE2 error

Measures to be taken from the description of "Windows help and support" are as follows.

A. Disable Windows Firewall
B. Add a Windows Update site to Windows Firewall exception

The option A is excluded as security becomes less sweet.

Choice B points to the procedure for registering the Windows Update site on Internet Explorer's trusted site.

I can not touch Windows Firewall.
