This information was copied from the above link:

Customer will see error 0x800A138F when scanning for updates, but the
Windows Update.log file will show error 0x80070057.

This appears to be an issue with the program Netop which enters a driver
entry into the enum\root\unknown key in the registry.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{63C35530-D3DF-11D3-8
F5D-0060B0A3612B}\0000]
"ProviderName"="Danware Data A/S"
"DriverDesc"="NetOp Driver 3 ver. 7.00 (2002014)"
"DriverDate"="Jan 14 2002"
"DriverVer"="7.00 (2002014)"
"MatchingDeviceId"="danware_netop_driver3"

Both the DriverDate and DriverVer are not formatted properly

Resolution:
Visit http://www.netop.com/tech/download/fix/fixwinup.exe and run this
executable If you are running the Netop software.

If you have a Lynx device

1. Click on Start, Run and type "REGEDIT" (w/o the quotes). The Registry
Editor will open.

*WARNING*

Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee
that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be
solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

2. Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96C-E325-11C
E-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0020

3. change date from August 16, 2000 to 8/16/2000)

This should resolve the problem
