To continue, you must first add this website to your trusted sites in Internet Explorer. The site cannot determine which updates apply to your computer or display those updates unless you change your security setings to allow ActiveX controls and active scripting. The best way to do this without lowering your security settings is to make this site a trusted website. Your security settings will continue to block potentially harmful ActiveX controls and scripting from other sites but you will be able to get updates.

To make this site a trusted website:

In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then click Internet Options. On the Security tab, click the Trusted Sites icon. Click Sites and under Add this website to the zone, copy and paste these website addresses.
You can only add one address at a time and you must click Add after each one: http://*.update.microsoft.com https://*.update.microsoft.com http://download.windowsupdate.com Note: The asterisks and different addresses allow your computer to work with the site, no matter how you try to access it from your computer or the Web.

well ok i tried but it does not accept http:// it has to be https://

therefore microsoft is preventing me to update as their own product does not allow me to do as they say

does anyone else have this problem

is there a fix?

Yes, configure IE to allow ActiveX controls and active scripting.
