Windows could not search for new updates code- 8024402C.
I have tried many things like- turning off, windows firewall,anti-virus firewall, etc..
I have also tried some solutions from the internet like-https://codeimprovements.wordpress.com/2012/11/21/solving-error-8024402c-for-windows-update/
Windows wont update error-8024402C Solved - Windows 7 Help Forums
and some microsoft solutions,even run CC cleaner......nothing helped .
so i finally posting a thread ,i hope there is a solution .
i am using a lenovo laptop, Z510 i7 with windows 8.1 .i had also updated windows before in this laptop but when i opened windows updates window i found this-
(it shows i updated never because i tried a solution in which i needed to delete a folder called -SoftwareDistribution folder)

i have never encountered this type of problem before,
thanks.
