    I have a computer that won't update.  It give error code 80096001.  I have tried the Microsoft Fixit WU, it says it is changing things, but doesn't fix the problem.

    Any Ideas?

    Hi,

     

    Could you manually install Windows 7 update package?

     

    Please logon with Clean Boot and update again.

     

    Also you can try to  Resets the Windows update components:
    Access the below link and use the Fix it tool mentioned in the article to automatically reset the Windows Update components:

    If the issue persists, I suggest to install Windows 7 SP1, there are many update in that package.

    How do you manually install Windows 7 update package?

    Go to the Microsoft Download Center, type the name of the update package in the box at the top of the page and hit ENTER; save the update package file, right click on the file and choose "Run as Administrator" to manually install the update.

    Bye.
