Error message 0x80070002
Issue
Sometimes when starting your computer, downloading the latest updates for some programs or by just updating windows or also by just opening a webpage, you get this error:
[Error number: 0x80070002] The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the license for this computer.
Solution
The Solution is quite simple, please follow these instructions precisely to proceed:
- Click Start > Run > Type regedit
- Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001Services and look for BITS and Wuauserv
When you find BITS and Wuauserv click on it and check the key ImagePath to make sure it says
%SystemRoot%System32svchost.exe -k netsvcs
- If it's something different right click the key and click "Modify" copy and paste
%SystemRoot%system32svchost.exe -k netsvcs
If you get an Error saying "
Cannot edit ImagePath: Error writing value's new contents."
Right click the folder BITS or Wuaserv (You will most likely have to do both) and select "
Permissions"
Select full control
Go back to the ImagePath key and click Modify again and paste in
%SystemRoot%System32svchost.exe -k netsvcs
Also check these:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet002Services (BITS and Wuauserv)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet003Services (BITS and Wuauserv)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServices (BITS and Wuauserv)
Notes
If the problem persists, you just have to use the recovery disc or try restoring the system then update your system with the latest service pack.
