RE: Help! Error Code: 8007F004

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello. I had this problem as well.

In my case it was a group policy that was interfering with the updates.

The computer I was trying to update was in an OU that had a GP setting to
auto download Windows updates from one of the servers on our network. The
policy was in Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates> Windows
Components/Windows Updates>.

The name of the policy in that container was "Specify intranet Microsoft
update service location" and it was set to enabled and was pointing to one of
our servers on our local intranet.

To fix the problem I moved the computer that I was trying to install on to a
OU that had no Group Policy and the updates went fine after that.

So in short, you may want to have a look at your domain Group Policy not
your local.
