Error code 0x80072EE2 flags an update error, that has been covered within this Microsoft article (but for Windows 7). According to Microsoft, the Update client could not connect to the update server. The recommendation is: Try it again later.
If that doesn't help, the internet connection could be interrupted. Check, whether third party firewalls, internet security suites or VPN software could be the cause for this issue. Also wrong proxy settings may be a cause. You can check, whether proxy settings are wrong using Settings app in Windows 10 (or Internet options in other Windows builds). See my blog post Windows 10 V 1607 fails with Windows Update error 0x80D05001 how to check proxy settings.
