I'm getting Windows Update Error Code 80240038.
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\ReportingEvents.log shows "Windows Update
Client failed to detect with error 0x80240038."

Anyone know why?

Thanks.

I'm getting the error as well. Perhaps just a temporary event since update
worked last night????

I just got that same error message. I then activated my Vista build and it
went away. Make sure you have activated.

As I suspected - whatever the problem was - it was temporary - my update is
now working.
