Broken Windows w/error 8024402F update

Hello

Looks like I'm certainly not alone in this problem:

When you run Windows Update to my laptop Win 8 newly installed, the process fails almost immediately with:

--
Error (s) found:
Code 8024402F
Windows Update has encountered a problem
--

I have:

1 cleared out the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder and allow it to rebuild.

2. run the Windows Update troubleshooting tool.  When run, it detects problems and specifically says recent updates installation problems - is not fixed. " I reboot and have the same problem.

3 run sfc/scannow - all checks very well.

I am at a loss.  Does anyone have any other tips/tricks to try?

Thank you
Brian

Hi Brian,.

Error 8024402F Code indicates that there could be some interruption when downloading updates.

Can you share a snapshot of WindowsUpdate.log location C:\Windows

Thank you

Sam

  • 80073AA2 Windows Vista error code update KB973917 and KB970430 Frustration!

    I have a problem installing the updates on my 32-bit Windows Vista laptop. I have both updates KB973917 and KB970430 both indicate the error code 80073AA2 and two KB976325 and KB971737 updates showing the error code 800F0826.  The laptop has the message that it is install update 3 of 3, is 100% then says that the updates have not been configured correctly - he keeps trying to install updates.

    I find it quite frustrating because this is the second time (the last was SP2) this year that updates have not properly configured and as a geek no I'm not able to settle this issue myself!  I got a very helpful guys at Microsoft call me before; However, if I can get some advice on how to fix myself I would be very grateful!

    Thank you, Maggie Ross.

    Hello
    Thank you for your response back!

    I added a few steps below that other forum users who have had the same problem. Please let us know status.

    Which antivirus program is installed on the computer?

    Method 1
    I suggest that you turn off all antivirus and firewall installed on the computer and check if the problem persists.

    Note: Microsoft does not recommend that you disable the antivirus protection in most conditions. Disable the antivirus protection that temporarily to restore a computer.

    Method 2: Ensure that the date and time are correct on the computer.

    a. check the Date/time setting by selecting the tile office and then left click on the time in the corner.

    b. click change date and time. And then check that the time zone is correct and the time of the internet tab has the ability to synchronize with the time server Internet.
    Hope this information is helpful and let us know if you need help with Windows in the future. We will be happy to help.

  • 2012 Server R2 Windows Update error 8024402F Essentials

    Hi all

    I have a newly installed Win 2 k 12 R2 Essentials server. Windows updates worked for the first time in court (first update etc.) but now when I go to check the updates manually, I get error 8024402F. I tried ALL the troubleshooting on various Internet sites without success. This includes CISD, sfc.exe, disabling firewall/scannow, etc..

    I am at my wits end now with what I can't work out where it is a failure. To confirm, there is no firewall or proxy between this server and the internet.

    Your advice and your support would be much appreciated!

    Thank you

    Hello

    Often we see weird behavior as the result of a program of loading during the startup process.

    To solve these, we use the clean boot troubleshooting.

    The following article describes this process:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    Please note that after refine us the cause, it is important that we return to a normal startup and manually delete the startup program.

    We'll do this before uninstalling Service Pack 2.

    If the behavior persists, then we can clean boot, uninstall and reinstall Service Pack 2.

    Best regards

    Hello world

    Desperately looking for advice on fixing my Windows Update; using Vista Home Premium, 64-bit. The problem has been consistent since about 10 days to have eliminated the possibility that it is related to the connection.  I completely many system restores.  I turned off Norton 360, even uninstalled and reinstalled.

    Have included a few lines in the Windows Update log this evening to see if this will help you to point me in the right direction.

    Thanks a lot for your help!
