While you wait, it’s a good idea to restart your router/modem in order to force it to re-assign your DNS settings. Then, wait a couple of hours and try to perform the update again. If you’ve only discovered this issue, you should start your troubleshooting quest by making sure your internet connection is functioning properly. In the event that the update still doesn’t install, perform a hard reset and try again.
If the issue persists, try using a proxy server or a VPN app and parse your internet connection through it. In any case, wait a couple of hours and see if the update is able to complete. Note: If you’re encountering the 80072EFE error when performing an OS update on Windows phones like Nokia Lumia, the issue is either server-side or it’s a faulty network setting. Another potential culprit is corruption in those Windows files responsible for updating your OS. However, this issue can also be caused by 3rd party firewalls or anti-virus suites that are overly protective when overseeing your data exchanges. This can mean a flaky line or a cable interruption, but it can also be a red flag that a malicious rootkit that is interfering with your internet connection.
If you follow the original documentation, the error code hints towards a connection interruption. But it’s also known to appear on Windows 10 (often caused by malware belonging to the rootkit family). The 80072EFE error is primarily a Windows Vista and Windows 7 issue. The hex codes translates into ERROR_INTERNET_CONNECTION_ABORTED. This can be on a client-side or on the windows server, since we do not have access to the server we’re left with troubleshooting the client side only. Error 80072EFE is usually trigered when there are issues with the internet connection.
