A simple workaround so far (until MS fixes the epire date) is to uncheck the option to update other Microsoft products - as mentioned within the blog post. But note - after unchecking the option, this option will be temporarily removed.

I'm aware of this - let's hope, MS releases a hot fix - and I hope the mods forward this thread to product group.
Addendum: Microsoft has released a fix. If this isn't installed automatically, see my blog post for further assistence.

No it isn't.. I just switched on a laptop which had this issue last evening. Tried Windows Update, & lo -& behold, the problem is still there...
I haven't tried any of the work-arounds. MS must provide a fix via the automatic process as most users will not be following the various threads.

Well....
For me and lots of other users the issue is indeed fixed.
No problems whatsoever anymore in searching for updates...
Suggestion to start your own thread if your problems continue...

OK..
An update..
I looked on update history - just a blank page.
Then ran MSE update which worked & downloaded this mornings "virus & spyware definitions" update.
Went back to Windows update, and that now worked.
I have done this on two of my three affected machines.

press
start
control panel
date and time
on that new window press
change date and time
Set your computer to a date before March 1, 2017, for example.February 1, 2017
press ok
press ok
so that the computer will be set back to that date
restart windows update, it should likely find a new update,
after install and restart windows, set date back to now,
it should help
helped me
It should be after something i have read elsewhere that the last update has set to a wrong date to when windovs 7 cease to be updated,
It hat by a mistake by Microsoft been set to a date in March 2017 and not updatet
