Dave-H Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) Same issue here. Error 0x80248015. Hopefully just a temporary glitch. I think that error refers to a connectivity problem. Edited December 4, 2017 by Dave-H Addition 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickrussom Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 According to a user named ArgHereBeDragons in a thread on the Microsoft Answers Forums, this error appears to be caused by the file C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\AuthCabs\authcab.cab. This CAB file contains an XML file called authorization.xml that has an expiration of 12/3/2017 at 11:59:25 PST. If a user tries to update windows after this time, then Windows Update fails because this file is expired. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows-7-update-giving-a-80248015-error-heres-why-and-how-to-fix-it-/ When someone figures out how to get a working authcab.cab, let the world know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heinoganda Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Since MS will certainly improve, since even newer Windows versions are affected. I'm not worried about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How exactly do you do it? ----- Later addition: Never mind. It just dawned on me you meant changing the system date (= machine date), not the date inside the cabs. Of course! That should work but is not recommended at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destro Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 on a test VM, I tried a lot of things. I wasn't able to reinstall "Microsoft update" note: not windows update. Windows update works. Once I removed Microsoft update and tried to reconfigure it by clicking use microsoft update instead, I was presented with the usual page, however the page is broken. There is no EULA just a button to accept it, then when excepting it, I never get a pop up to install the active X or browser control. It then proceeds to tell me it's installed and then takes me back to the 1st page I clicked to install it. Endless loop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
