Windows 7 Error Code 80248015


Posted by: Timothy Tibbetts on 12/05/2017 06:57 AM [ comments Comments ]


It seems people running Windows 7 are recently getting an 80248015 error code and unable to complete Windows Updates.

On the Microsoft Answers forum it appears that C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\AuthCabs\authcab.cab contains an XML file called authorization.xml that has an expiration of 12/3/2017. If you try to update windows after this time, then Windows Update fails because this file is expired.

Because it's Windows, there's always more than one fix. You have two choices:

1: You can set your clock back to before December 3rd, run Windows update and set the clock back to the correct date.

2: Go to Windows Update settings and uncheck "Give me updates for Microsoft products and check for new optional Microsoft software when I update Windows."

Most likely Microsoft will address this with a hotfix, possibly December 12th, the next Patch Tuesday. (Thanks, bhringer)

We've notified support on Twitter.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. To help you resolve issues with Windows 7 error code 80248015 during the update, see this link: https://t.co/5zJRXcbIQc. Let us know how it goes.

We will update this story when we hear a fix has been released.
