does anyone know how to fix Windows Update when I'm getting 8000FFFF error?
I've already tried Step 1,2,3 from this site:
when I tried to update Windows Update Agent installer returned 8000FFFF error too.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Have a read of Windows Update fails with 8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED) the gist of which is:
Quick Solution: Check the permissions on the root of C: and ensure that BUILTIN\Users have Read access.
Have a look at the WindowsUpdate.log in your Windows directory and the Application Event logs to confirm that you are getting the same errors as in the Brad Rutkowski's Blog entry.

Is this Builtin\users local group or domain group? – Root Loop Dec 20 '17 at 03:53

BUILTIN\Users is a Windows Operating System local group. See https://serverfault.com/questions/376703/definition-of-builtin-users for more information. – Sim Jan 02 '18 at 04:27
