Using Microsoft update doesn't work.
It seems to search my pc (progress bar is shown) but after that it returns
to the error page showing error code 0x8024001D. I never get to see any
updates, so it's not an installation problem.
Extra Info: Windows Update does work, only Microsoft Update doesn't.

Hi,

Rename (or just delete) the SoftwareDistribution folder and
see if it helps.

You can use the procedure described here:

http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...cleid=21&ln=en

Note that a side effect of renaming or deleting the
SoftwareDistribution folder is that you lose your Windows Update
History listing (not critical).

(later on, you can just delete the renamed SoftwareDistribution
folder)
