I want to update Windows Security but each time I am trying, it is showing an error.
The complete error message is “Something went wrong, Couldn’t download Windows 10, please check your network settings and try again” with error code 0x80072ee7. How to solve this problem?
This error code 0x80072ee7 may appear due to the following reasons which are:-
- Internet connection is limited either due to a system or an equipment error.
- Some part of update component is missing.
- DNS error.

Method 1: Check Your Internet Connection:-
