Unable to update Win 8.1

I just discovered recently I haven't received any windows update since 04/27/14. I was setup for automatic updates. The window says no updates available and no recent updates. When I select "check for updates" I get the messages "Windows could not check for new updates" & "There was a problem checking for updates. The error code is 80072F8F.
I have checked the date time and they're correct. I have checked for viruses and malware. Nothing shows up.
Would appreciate any suggestions or help.
