Windows could not search for new updates Code 80244019

Hi,

Whenever I try to update windows, I get the below message which says:

Windows could not search for new updates Code 80244019

Please advise on how to resolve the issue.

OS: Windows 7 x64

Processor: AMD

Please let me know if any other information is needed

Are you still having this issue?

I've seen this error before and starting the BITS Services worked.

@LDTate..Thanks for the reply.

I forgot to tell that I already tried all the steps mentioned in the link. BITS and Windows Update Service is already enabled. DEP is already checked. Troubleshooter is nor able to determine the issue

I found out that it may be because Service Pack 1 is not installed

I downloaded Service Pack 1 installer but when I try to install it, it says "One or more System Components that the service pack requires are missing."

I'd suggest updating to Windows 10 for free.
