This is the craziest thing I've ever experienced with a Window machine...gave me a good laugh! Was working remotely on a new Surface and there was a Windows Activation error, so went to Settings\Updates and there was a statement that the update server could not be found and check the internet connection? Duh, I'm working remotely and the browsers are not having issues?! So I decided to do a search on error 0x80072ee7 and came up with the following non MS post: go to control panel search "view network connections" go to view network connections choose your network( which you are currently using ) right click on it and select properties scroll down to " internet protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) " hit properties Now choose Use the following DNS Server addresses Primary DNS Server - 8.8.8.8 and Secondary DNS Server - 8.8.4.4 These are the addresses of Google's DNS Servers They are free to use. Hit ok Guess what...it worked and Google did what Big Blue could not! I'm still LMFAO!!
