I also found out: https://fe2.update.microsoft.com won't go. But https://fe2.ws.microsoft.com works.

Right. It works as of Vista.

I have now activated all ciphers. Despite this, not more appears on SSLLabs.

I also followed the link and didn't find an SSL option. But I found this in the registry editor:

Can you change the cipher suites like this?https://www.howtogeek.com/221080/how-to-update-your-windows-server-cipher-suite-for-better-security/

@Dave-H Try this Root Certificate Updater: http://i430vx.net/files/wsusstuff/NT5x/rootsupd.exe

Does the update catalog work?

I correct: I got the page up and running with a CTL and with a lot of patience. The patch just replaced the old endpoint (https://www.update.microsoft.com/v6/clientwebservice/client.asmx) with the new one. (https://fe2.update.microsoft.com/v6/clientwebservice/client.asmx) Download link from the CTL: https://aka.ms/CTLDownload

This can have many causes. Is the date correct? Are the Tls settings correct? Possibly do a root certificate update

I have registered wuweb.dll (For Windows Update) and muweb.dll (For Microsoft Update) under c:/windows/syswow64 and added this page to Trusted Sites in Internet Options. And from Xp took the Windows Update Manager and copied it to Windows 10 on the desktop.

@xpandvistafan Also, I have the update page running in Windows 10 and it works without any issues.

As far as I know nothing has changed. As I said, it was always a matter of luck. Theres a Picture: https://photos.app.goo.gl/WMtU1vTEHX33xPgM6

Okay, that makes me happy. Now only the error 0x80072eff would have to be fixed. This is because Internet Explorer cannot access the page in https. Despite Tls 1.2. The problem can be seen in the Windows Update log file.

@xpandvistafan In order to stop the forwarding, this must be observed.

I have SSL 3.0, Tls 1.0 and 1.2 enabled by default. But it doesn't fix the redirect!

No, the Microsoft Root Certificate Authority 2011 is the current sha-2 certificate. What you mean is the Microsoft Root Certificate Authority which expired on May 10th, 2021. Since then there has been a redirect to fe2.update.microsoft.com

Note the following settings:

I fixed this infinite loop as described above. The forwarding stops and the page loads. Unfortunately, for now you get the error 0x80072eff because I think something is wrong with the Microsoft Root Certificate Authority 2011. But I can't say for sure. This is currently just a guess. But there could also be something wrong with Internet Explorer. What is strange is that the page https://fe2.update.microsoft.com cannot be called up and the page https://fe2.ws.microsoft.com can. Maybe the problem could be solved with the ProxHttpsProxy software. Unfortunately I don't have access to the download.

And here you can see the error that occurs when calling the page.

Hello everyone and a happy new year 2022! This is my first post. Sorry, I have to translate from German to English. Since July 2021 I have been working on the update problem in Xp. As many people may know, the page has not been accessible for about 1 year. I found a workaround solution. To do this, click Internet Options in Internet Explorer, then go to the Trusted Sites option in the Security tab, then click Sites and add the pages http://www.update.microsoft.com and https://www.update.microsoft.com . Then set the security level to high and call up Windows Update. The page is already reloading. Unfortunately you get the error code 0x80072eff. The problem is that Internet Explorer is trying to download a file in the https protocol. After adding Tls 1.2 I still got the same error code. A few months have now passed. Until I got the idea that it could also be due to the certificate. I then downloaded a certificate trust list from Microsoft (https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/security/trusted-root/release-notes). After I installed this certificate trust list, with a lot of luck and patience I was able to access the page. But unfortunately the search for updates failed. But after I downloaded the sha-2 patch from @max-h, I was actually able to search for and install updates again. The strange thing is that shortly after loading the page you have to click on Quick Search or Custom Search immediately, otherwise the search will fail with 0x80072efe. What is also strange is that I cannot open the page in a second window, otherwise the error 0x80072eff pops up again. What's also strange, when this page is open, the links in the Help and Support Center work too. Unfortunately, strangely enough, I am currently unable to access this website at all. But I am sure that the problem is with the certificate. Sorry, the pictures are only in German. Maybe someone can help.
