Tried 'all' the suggested methods to fix still no luck.
I can run the WSUS offline updater fine, but running windows update fails with 80072F8F
-Correct the date and time in the control panel
-Sync with an internet time server
-ran SFC scannow -nada
-followed: http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f320/solved-windows-update-error-80072f8f-885129-2.html
-Restart the Windows Time Service
-Ran this command: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth (got an error that the source files can't be downloaded)
