Error 0x8024400A when installing Windows updates.

original title: error number: 0x8024400A

I reformatted an old pc that has windows xp & tried to use windows update, but get the following message - error number: 0x8024400A. Can anyone help please? Have tried using general Fixit and restart the pc, but nothing works.

Have you recently reload Windows, restored back to factory settings or make other changes to your computer?

You must be at Service Pack 3 level before you can use Windows updates.

To determine which service pack is currently installed on your computer, follow these steps:

  1. Click Startand then click run.
  2. Copy and paste, or type the following command, and then click OK:
    winver

    A dialog box displays the version of Windows and the service pack that is currently installed on your computer.

If you haven't already done so, you will need to install the SP2 and SP3 (SP1 note no longer exists).

  • Error 646 when installing Windows updates

    Whenever I try to install the following updates to the window, I get the error 646 answer:

    KB981715 KB980729 KB978382 KB978380

    I use Vista and Internet Explorer

    Sorry, you have problems getting your patches installed. I have a number of things for you to look at.  First of all, are your Windows Update and the Background Intelligent Transer Services set to Automaticand started . You can check these settings by typing services.msc in the search box of the start menu.

    Sometimes in order to get patches to install correctly, you must perform these tasks manually.

    (1) Download Center to visit Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx.
    (2) search for each update code that begins with the letters "KB" and followed by a set of numbers (i.e. KB979309).
    3) click on the link for the download and then click on download and run.  You must accept the contract agreement, and then click continue.
    (4) repeat this process for each download of updates Windows could not install.
    (5) to rerun the update from Microsoft, click find updates.  If all goes well, it will show that you are completely patched.

    If this does not work, try to run the Microsoft OneCare safety scanner.  Sometimes it will solve problems of hidden registry, or erase viruses can prevent the installation of patches: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/whatsnew.htm. Click full service scan, and then Quick scan (full scan takes a long time to complete). Try the patches.

    Hope this helps,

  • Error 80080008 while installing Windows updates.

    Original title: suziwhy

    I tried to upgrade to 8.1 windows, but he refused in the end.

    Now, I get a 80080008 error whenever I try to install the updates.

    Can anyone help? Please

    Hi Suziwhy,

    1 are you this error during upgrade to Windows 8.1 or during the installation of Windows updates?

    2. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    If you get this error when installing Windows updates, then it normally occurs because the file Wups2.dll included in the latest version of Windows Update is incorrectly installed or became non registered.

    I suggest you to re - register the Wups2.dll file and check if this solves the problem.

    Follow the steps to re - register the file by using the command prompt:

    a. press the Windows key + X , and then select (admin) command prompt.

    b. run the following commands and press ENTER after each one:

    net stop wuauserv

    regsvr32 %windir%\system32\wups2.dll

    c. now, you will receive a verification message that the DLL is registered. Click OK.

    d. start the automatic updates service. To do this, type the following command at the prompt (admin) command and press ENTER:

    net start wuauserv

    e. type Exit.

    Thanks for the reply with the status of the issue.

    I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it works for you.

    Method 1:

    Try to install all the updates that are predefined in Windows Updates and also install the latest device drivers and check if that helps.

    Method 2:

    If the problem still persists, then create a new user account and then try to install the updates and check if the problem persists. This is to check if the problem is caused due to the corruption of the user profiles.

    Create a user account:
