Windows Update fails with code 80244019


I just found that Windows Update is failing and hasn't installed any updates for a little more than a month.


It says:


Windows could not search for new updates
There was a problem searching for updates
Errors found: Code 80244019

This article at Microsoft suggests it might be a virus: Windows Update error 80070422, 80244019, or 8DDD0018


The operating system is Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center.



Answer



I've found an online discussion that suggests that this has been happening because of increased load of Windows 10 distribution.


What worked for me was disabling "Give me updates for other Microsoft products when I update Windows".
