Keeps telling me that a firewall is blocking the process. I have shut off the firewall and still cannot get the system to check for updates.

Welcome to the forums Joreshan

Do you have the full error message (inc. error code) that Windows gives you? It seems a little strange if it still happens when your firewall is disabled.

What security software are you using on your PC?

This problem occurs because one of the following conditions are true:
  • A firewall is blocking connectivity of Messenger to the Internet.
  • Security libraries are corrupted.
  • Proxy settings are incorrect.
  • Spyware is blocking connection to the Messenger service.
