I have the same problem so maybe the same solution will apply.

Windows advises me that there are new updates available. I click the box and Windows Updates looks for updates. After five minutes or so I am notified that "Windows Could Not Search For New Updates". The code is 80070002. I have clicked the help link and followed the instructions which are supposed to solve this problem but it won't go away.

I have Zone Alarm firewall, do I need to set an exception to allow Windows Update to work? If so, what should I enter as the exception?

Further to a previous post, System Restore still does'nt work though I was able to activate Lenovo Care's restore function success fully (that's when Windows Update stopped working).

Help!
