Outlook RSS Feeds not updating
Fix 0x80004005, 0x800C0008, 0x8004010F errors in Outlook
There are a couple of ways to fix the problem of Outlook RSS Feeds not updating on your windows computer.
Change frequency to check RSS Feeds
When you add a new RSS feed in Outlook, the system checks for updates at a particular time interval. If something goes wrong in between, you might not receive new updates from that feed.
To ensure that your RSS Feeds are updating properly, check that the Update Limit feature is turned on. To do this, open Microsoft Outlook > File > Account Settings. Select Account Settings again, then switch to the RSS Feeds tab. Click on the Change button, and make sure that the Update Limit check box is selected.
Next, go to Send/Receive tab in Outlook. Here you need to click on Send/Receive Groups option and select Define Send/Receive Groups. On the next menu, select Schedule an automatic send/receive every 30 or 60 minutes.

If you receive a summary of all the articles in an RSS feed and want to download the entire article, you can do so by opening the article in your web browser and selecting the “Download” option.
Open RSS Feed in Outlook’s Account Settings. Select an RSS Feed and click Change. Select to Download the full article as a .html attachment.
You can enable Automatically download enclosures for this RSS Feed. It will let you download all the attachments included in one article.
Synchronize RSS Feeds to the Common Feed List

- Click on File, then click Options.
