• Answer:

  This error no can mean several things. It is often received if the Windows update server is overburdened with too many people downloading updates at once. So if this is the first time you have this error try waiting an hour and try to download your updates again. If this is happening a lot then it could be down to your security software or a mis configured firewall. Check the firewall settings is letting the SVHOST for windows updates have internet access. Windows update uses ports 80 and 443 and they need to be allowed in your firewall settings. You don't give any details on your firewall but check the application control settings Microsoft have a help page dedicated to problems with windows update error 80072EFD. there is also an automated troubleshooter you can run over the internet, from here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-error-80072efd
