I reset one of my old laptops because there was only junk on it anyway, and I still want to use it sensibly.
Everything went well, but now I have a problem: I can't update, (Code 80072EFE) I can't visit websites with Internet Explorer (i.e. Also can't download any other browser), although an active WLAN connection is displayed.
On the standard page msi I also have the latest news, but everything else he complains "that the website can't be displayed". That may be due to IE 8, but why doesn't Windows Update work?
Pinging from the computer, router and from a website went quickly and without any loss.
Windows Firewall has already been completely deactivated (activated again in the meantime): No changes.
I don't have virus programs on it, I threw Norton down right at the beginning.
What else can I try? Internet works, but something seems to be blocking access.
What is the remote station? A wireless router? Does it depend on the Internet DSL? What's in there? Has the PC received an IP address?
It is connected to the WLAN. Unfortunately, I can't access the router itself. Just no Vadda can do that, and he's not here right now.
But since I don't have such problems with any device, it's more the device than the router.
Maybe in the workplace explorer ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera
but do not know whether the link still funzt
Maybe update to WIN10 first. Then the problem could be resolved.
Windows 7 update has been switched off for a long time. That's why they all use windows 10
and old browsers do not have the necessary certificates.
Could it be that you ask the same question again and again and can't accept the answers?
No. This is the first time I have asked.
And before the reset, Windows Update worked without any problems. There are security updates until 2023
Download the latest browser somewhere and install it via usb.
and very important, set the current time and date, otherwise it won't work
Grab a LAN cable and connect the PC to the router. If that works, you have narrowed the problem down to the WLAN.
At least you can then make all updates.
