- error 0x800A138F soloved

FYI.
Got an error trying to download from winupdate, 0x800A138F.
Previous discussions in this FAQ mentioned something about
the HOSTS file.
I had some entries there because I didn't want to have
advertise popups, which worked quite well.
When I cleared the HOSTS file I could suddenly download
from winupdate.
Best.

Thanks for the tip worked like a box full of charmed
things. All I did was rename my host file for the duration
of the update and then back again afterwards.
May you always walk on the sunner path.

Actually, if you use the HOSTS file to block unwanted ADS, it probably
includes akamai servers, too. Either turn off the HOSTS file or rename it to
..old or some such and WU then works. At least it does here.
