I get 80244o1c error after updated windows update

I recently used the reformat windows 8 setting, "all remove and reinstall windows.

I have had no problems or issues with the process until I've decided to use windows update to install the necessary updates.

Update Windows prompted me to upgrade to the latest version. I then downloaded and installed the update and it told me that windows update will automatically close and open again. After the update I went and go to check updates. I filled the boxes updates, I want to install the first. I have install updated partially because I don't have the best internet speed to download all updates at once. But after installing the updates I get only error 8024401c. I tried to use the Troubleshoot utility and restart the computer when you are finished, but I still get the error. I tried all of the solutions in this link http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-windows_update/windows-update-error-code-8024401c/f8b9dc5f-a512-4e74-b41c-d357ca40f9f7. But still nothing.

Help, please.

P.S

I also tried to reset (delete everything and reinstall windows) several times and the recovery of a option restore point until I started the update from windows update. But still no luck.

Hi Justin,

Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

I appreciate your troubleshooting steps.

As you said you get a 8024401C error after installing Windows updates.

I need some information.

  1. What is the brand and model of your computer?
  2. Do you remember the numbers KB installed updates?
  3. What happened when you performed the reset and restore? Do you have an error code or message?

I suggest you to please provide us with the number of the last update that you have installed on your computer.

See the link given below to find the number of the update through view update history. Please refer to the appropriate section (how can I find out what updates have been installed).
