Как исправить ошибку 0x80072f8f 0x20000 windows 7

0x80072F8F - 0x20000 Ошибка может появиться при обновлении вашей системы с Windows 7 до Windows 10 с помощью средства создания мультимедиа, если не удается связаться с требуемыми серверами Microsoft.

Эта проблема возникает из-за отсутствия необходимых протоколов безопасности транспортного уровня (TLS) в Windows 7. Таким образом, вам необходимо включить их или использовать другие методы обновления Windows, чтобы устранить проблему.

Включить последние версии TLS

Для работы средства создания мультимедиа необходимо взаимодействовать с некоторыми серверами. Однако некоторые из этих серверов поддерживают только TLS 1.1 или TLS 1.2, которые не включены в версии Windows 7 SP1.

К счастью, корпорация Майкрософт предоставила обновления и инструкции по некоторым изменениям в реестре для включения этих протоколов.

1. Убедитесь, что у вас уже есть пакет обновления 1 (SP1) для Windows 7 или Server 2008 R2.
2. Затем перейдите в Каталог Центра обновления Майкрософт и найдите обновление KB3140245.
3. Загрузите обновление для вашей версии Windows и архитектуры (x64 или x86), но не устанавливайте его сейчас. 
4. Затем вам нужно добавить некоторые записи реестра.
5. Вы также можете запустить это Microsoft easyfix, чтобы автоматически внести эти изменения в редактор реестра.

6. Затем вам может потребоваться внести дополнительные изменения в реестр в зависимости от вашей системы. Итак, лучше сделать это на всякий случай.
7. Теперь установите обновление KB3140245, которое вы загрузили ранее.
8. Перезагрузите компьютер и попробуйте снова запустить средство создания мультимедиа.

Загрузите ISO-файл с мобильного телефона

Поскольку ошибка возникает из-за того, что средству создания мультимедиа не удается подключиться к серверу из-за отсутствия TLS 1.1 или TLS 1.2, вы можете избежать этой проблемы, используя другое устройство для загрузки файла ISO.

1. Вы можете использовать мобильный телефон для загрузки файла, если у вас есть 6-8 ГБ свободного места на устройстве. По какой-то причине загрузка файла с помощью компьютера не работает.
2. Раньше Microsoft размещала архивированный ISO-файл, но теперь вам нужно использовать другие сторонние веб-сайты, поэтому сначала убедитесь в его надежности.
3. Перенесите файл на свой компьютер с помощью кабеля для передачи данных или другим способом.
4. Затем извлеките ISO-файл на свой компьютер с помощью 7-zip или WinRAR. Или смонтировать его на виртуальный CD / DVD. После этого запустите Setup.exe, чтобы инициировать обновление. В качестве альтернативы вы можете создать ISO-файл на другом компьютере с Windows 10 с помощью Media Creation, а затем использовать его для обновления вашего компьютера.

Error 0x80072f8f 0x20000 in Windows 7 is a common error that occurs when you try to upgrade your OS. This error can appear in any version of Windows 7 and other Microsoft operating systems.

Although the error also occurs in other later operating systems, Windows 7 is more at risk because Microsoft stopped issuing security updates. This means the operating system is at risk and as such, you will need software to fix most of the errors.

Why I’m I getting the error 0x80072f8f 0x20000 in Windows 7

If you are seeing this error message, then it means that the installation of a program has failed. This could be due to one of the following reasons:

• Compatibility issues – The program is not compatible with your Windows version.
• Permission settings – Note that the permissions settings on the file/folder or registry entry might be incorrect.
• The antivirus or firewall is blocking the installation process – In this case, you may have to disable the antivirus temporarily.
• The file/folder or registry key is missing or damaged – If that’s the cause in your case, you may need a registry cleaner to get rid of such issues.
• Modified files – Keep in mind that this has nothing to do with you, but the program might have modified its own files by mistake during installation.

How can I fix error 0x80072F8F in Windows 7?

Before jumping into the more technical solutions, check the following things first:

• Ensure that the date and time of your computer are set correctly. You may have to sync your time with the Microsoft server.
• Run the Media Creation Tool with administrative privileges.
• Disconnect your internet connection while updating.
• Ensure your drivers are up-to-date.

1. Uninstall conflicting apps

1. Click on the Start icon or press the Windows key to launch the Start menu, and then select Control Panel from the options on the right.
2. Locate Programs and click on Uninstall a program. 
3. Now, select the program you want to remove, and then click Uninstall at the top.

Usually, if this problem started after installing an app, it would be best to uninstall it. The main issue is usually a conflict in software or downloading from unverified sources. To prevent such instances in the future, we recommend you equip your system with an antivirus program.

Antivirus programs can easily detect any corrupt files and stop them before they have the potential to cause any further damage.

ESET Internet Security is one of the best antivirus programs because it can run smart scans and effectively protect your device against all types of threats so your PC can never be at risk.

Если вы столкнулись с ошибкой 0x80072f8f 0x20000 при создании загрузочной флешки Windows 10 через официальную утилиту Media Creation Tool, то вероятнее всего у вас установлена Windows 7 либо Windows 8.
Она возникает из-за того что данные версии Windows уже не поддерживаются и необходимо создать загрузочную флешку другим способом.
В данной инструкции мы подробно распишем что необходимо делать в таком случае.

Для создания загрузочной флешки необходимо будет скачать дистрибутив Windows 10:
Версия x32 – https://cdn.keyslab.ru/windows/10/ProAndHome/Win10_22H2_Russian_x32.iso
Версия x64 – https://cdn.keyslab.ru/windows/10/ProAndHome/Win10_22H2_Russian_x64.iso

А так-же программа для того чтобы записать этот образ на флешку мы сделаем это на примере одной из самых популярных программ Rufus – https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/releases/download/v3.22/rufus-3.22.exe

После того как скачается образ запускаем программу, в пункте «Устройство» необходимо выбрать флешку размером от 8ГБ (рекомендуем 16). Обратите внимание что она будет форматироваться, поэтому сохраните все важные файлы. Так-же не рекомендуем использовать внешний жесткий диск, так как часто возникают ошибки при установке с них.

Далее в разделе «Метод загрузки» нажимаем «Выбрать» и находим скачанный образ. Все остальные пункты оставляем по умолчанию.

На данном этапе вы можете выбрать дополнительные параметры установки системы, которые упростят процесс установки, выбирайте их на ваше усмотрение.

Здесь программа сообщает нам о том, что флешка будет форматирована. 

Теперь дожидаемся окончания создания, в конце статус изменится на «ГОТОВ». После этого можно закрывать программу.

Теперь вы можете приступить к установке новой системы, мы подробно расписали весь процесс в нашей другой инструкции, вам необходимо будет пропустить пункт про создание загрузочного накопителя, он у вас уже есть — https://keyslab.ru/articles/kak-ustanovit-windows-10-s-fleshki/

Microsoft offers different ways to upgrade your Windows OS to the latest version. Since the introduction of Windows 11, users have been making the move to the new OS in numbers. 

That said, some Windows 7 users are still making the switch to Windows 10 after Microsoft ended support for the former.

You can upgrade through the Windows Update client, the Windows Update assistant or by using the Windows ISO file.

However, one of the common ways to upgrade Windows, especially from Windows 7 to 10, is using the Media Creation tool.

But users have been complaining about seeing error code 0x80072f8f-0x20000 when trying to use the tool. 

The common cause of the error code, especially in Windows 7, is the lack of support for TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2.

In other cases, the error could be showing up because of the software distribution folder or application conflicts.

How to Fix Error Code 0x80072f8f 0x20000 on Windows 10/11 or Windows 7

While the issue mostly occurs on Windows 7, you may also experience it on Windows 10 when upgrading to 11.

Follow the guides below to get rid of the problem for good.

Enable TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2

We are putting this solution at the top because it helped many users get rid of the error.

The Media Creation Tool communicates with servers that use TLS (Transport Layer Security) 1.1 and TLS 1.2. That’s because the tool has to download the setup files required for the upgrade from Microsoft’s servers.

But as it turns out, these security protocols might be disabled by default on your current Windows version.

So, the error code 0x80072f8f 20000 could be showing up because your PC can’t properly communicate with Microsoft’s servers.

Thankfully, you can enable TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 by making changes to the system registry.

Important: Before you begin, note that the system registry is a sensitive part of your operating system and applying the wrong changes could cause permanent damage. So, make sure you follow the steps in this guide carefully.

You can create a backup of the entire registry to be on the safe side. Here’s how to back up the entire registry:

1. Click on the Start button.
2. Go to the search box and type “regedit.exe.”
3. You can also open the Run dialog box (Win + R), type “regedit.exe,” and hit the Enter key.
4. After the Registry Editor opens, click on File in the top-left corner and select Export.
5. When the Export Registry File dialog window shows up, choose a location to save the backup, enter a name for the backup file in the File Name box, and select All under Export Range.
6. Click on the Save button.

That’s how to backup the registry. Now, follow these steps to enable TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2:

1. Open the Registry Editor.
2. To enable TLS 1.1, head to this registry location and follow the subsequent steps:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.1\Client

Now, go to the right side of the window and create the DisabledByDefault DWORD. To do that, right-click the empty field and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. Change the name of the new DWORD to DisabledByDefault.

Next, double-click the DWORD and set its value to 0.

3. Go to this registry location and follow the subsequent steps to enable TLS 1.2:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Client

Note: If the tree ends at Protocols, create the TLS 1.2 and Client keys under the Protocols key.

Create the DisabledByDefault DWORD and set its value to 0.

4. Restart your computer and run the Media Creation Tool again.

Delete the Software Distribution Folder

The software distribution folder is used by the Windows Update client to temporarily store files required for Windows updates. These files are stored when an update is pending for installation or download.

Sometimes, the file in the folder causes conflicts and prevents the client from completing an update. 

Since the Media Creation Tool has to download setup files required for upgrading Windows, the issue might be related to the software distribution folder. That’s because Windows may want to install pending updates before moving forward with the upgrade.

As such, deleting the folder may fix the problem.

Follow these steps:

1. Open your file explorer and go to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download.
2. Select every file and sub folder in the folder and delete them.
3. Next, launch the Command Prompt and enter the following command: wuauclt.exe /updatenow
4. Hit the Enter key and try running the setup again.

Perform a Clean Boot

Windows error code 0x80072f8f – 0x20000 may also be appearing due to application conflicts. Some programs and services that launch during startup may be responsible for triggering the error when you run the Media Creation Tool.

You can resolve the problem by disabling those applications and running only minimal programs at Windows startup. This process is called a clean boot.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Start menu and search for “msconfig.”
2. Click System Configuration in the search results.
3. Once the System Configuration dialog window appears, head to the Services tab.
4. Check the “Hide all Microsoft services” box and click on the Disable All button.
5. Next, switch to the Startup tab and select Open Task Manager.
6. Once the Startup tab of the Task Manager opens, select each enabled program and click on Disable.
7. Return to the System Configuration dialog and click on the OK button.
8. Restart your computer and try upgrading your operating system.

Use the Windows ISO File

As we mentioned earlier, the Media Creation Tool has to download the setup file to upgrade your PC. But for some reason, it keeps showing error code 0x80072f8f – 0x20000.

If none of the methods above helped you fix the problem, another alternative is to download the Windows setup file yourself and run the upgrade.

You should also consider downloading the ISO (Windows setup) to your mobile device and transfer it to your computer. This way, the process won’t be botched by the error.

So, follow these steps:

1. On your mobile browser, go to the Microsoft download page and download the ISO for Windows 10. A simple Google search will take you to the page. 

Note that you need at least 6 GB of free storage on your mobile device and computer.

2. After downloading the ISO file, transfer it to your computer and extract it using a program such as WinZip or 7zip. Some Windows versions can mount the ISO file as a virtual DVD.

3. Next, open the extracted – or mounted – folder and double-click on the Setup file.

4. Follow the subsequent instructions to complete the upgrade.

You can choose to keep your files and applications during the upgrade or remove everything.

If you still see an error after choosing to keep your files and programs, consider the “Remove everything” option. But before you do that, backup your important files to an external drive.

Conclusion

With the error code 0x80072f8f – 0x20000 Windows 10/11 or Windows 7 fails to upgrade and you may be left with the option of installing Windows from scratch.

However, the guides above will help you get rid of the error for good.

You can also use a PC repair tool to find and fix errors that may be triggering the problem. The tool also helps you prevent issues from occurring in the future.
