RE: Windows Update gives me "Error: 0x800A0046"

Rich my problem was simalar, IO fought it for a month, finaly my server
helped me in 20 second.

Give this a try. Internet Explorer, Choose tools tab, then Internet Options,
if worded that way. Then Connections, next window, Choose settings. UNCHECK
the Proxy Server box, it should say something like, Use proxy server for this
connection, however if you click onto the advance settings it says,
exceptions, do not connect to Windows updates, forget about that page,

Unchecking that box and go directly to windows updates, you will now have to
download the new active x somftware to use the sight, You may have to
uncheck that box every time, I do. Good luck Save that fix
