Spybot "Telemetry hosts Protection" causing Windows Update to fail with (0x800704cf)
Hi guys,
Love the program.
I've just installed windows 10 again (dual boot system w7x64 Pro / w10x64 Pro) now that the creators update is out because I know I'll be forced onto 10 eventually. So far I've actually found it to be acceptable.
I have run into an error with windows update that throws a (0x800704cf) code. This is a pretty generic network error code for "I can't reach an IP I'm trying connect to".
Removing all the Spybot Anti-Beacon entries from the hosts file fixes this error. I don't know exactly which entry/entries is/are causing the problem, I'll leave figuring that out up to you.
