Why am I seeing error “An error occurred while scanning for security updates. (0x80244019)”?
This error indicates that the Windows Update Agent was not able to communicate with the assigned Update Services server because of proxy configuration setting on the target computer. If a proxy server is in use, check the target computer’s Internet Explorer Internet Options settings and ensure the Update Services server is in the proxy bypass list using either the Bypass proxy server for local addresses setting, or using the Advanced button in the exception list. Using the proxy bypass allows end-users to access the Internet via the proxy server, yet directly access local intranet servers. This is also needed to allow WUA to contact the WSUS server on the local network.
