Hi

Error 0x8024401B is:

SUS_E_PT_HTTP_STATUS_PROXY_AUTH_REQ
Http status 407 - proxy authentication required

Open a command prompt (Start/Run and then "cmd.exe" without the
quotes").

Run this command to see what proxy configuration WU uses:

proxycfg

If you don't have a proxy, you will need status

    Direct access (no proxy server).

If it reports anything else, to set direct access and see if that helps:

proxycfg -d

To get more help on proxycfg:

proxycfg -?
