Unable to install Microsoft update (not Windows)... 0x800A01AE

None of the fixes I found here address this problem.  Update my other applications such as office, but can not get Microsoft Update to install.  Says I must be logged in as an administrator (DUH!)

Nothing has worked.  Had to wipe the hard drive and start over

  • Install the updates of Windows 7 not Windows 10

    I have more than 30 windows 7 selected updates and when I click OK it brings back me to the GET started installing Windows 10 screen. I want to install the updates, not Windows 10 and can't find a way to do

    Do you plan on installing Windows 10 soon?

    If this isn't the case - get rid of advertising for it in this way:

    Copy and paste the text below (and especially) the obvious markers in a text file, save it as "DisableGWX.reg")<-- changing="" even="" the="" file="" extension="" -="" if="" you="" cannot="" see="" it,="" you'll="" have="" to="" change="" your="" windows="" explorer="" view="" a="" bit="" to="" make="" this="" easier)="" and="" then="" use="" that="" (right-click="" on="" it,="" merge="" it="" into="" your="" registry)="" to="" disable="" the="" upgrade="" 'pushiness'="" you="" are="" seeing. ="" restart="" to="" get="" the="" full="">

    -COPY EVERYTHING BELOW THIS LINE-

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GWX]
    "DisableGWX" = DWORD: 00000001

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
    "DisableOSUpgrade" = DWORD: 00000001

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade]
    "AllowOSUpgrade" = DWORD: 00000000
    "ReservationsAllowed" = DWORD: 00000000

    -COPY EVERYTHING ABOVE THIS LINE-

    Once this is done, you should be without the notification and your Microsoft Updates must return to its normal state.  If you ever want to upgrade to Windows 10 new (remember, this is a work in progress and if you upgrade already on this system and active - there is a license for Windows 10 you'll never pay for related to this individual machine for the life of this individual machine) you can probably use the media creation tool to make * or * reverse the registry values (all above (: 00000001 becomes: 00000000 and all DWORD: 0-0000000 becomes: 00000001) and save this file and MERGE again.  Restart and you are back where you were before.

    * TIP * for everyone out there.  One thing I saw not advertised on the option of restoration of 30 days you have with Windows 10 is that * if * you run the media creation toolat any point in these 30 days, it BREAKS the ability to restore - even if you did just to create an ISO image, so you should have the installation media to continue.  That's because this tool recreates the $' Windows. ~ BT' and ' $Windows. ~ records of the WS on the root of your C drive and these two folders and their content after the upgrade as well as the "Windows.OLD" folder (the only 'visible by default' one of the three) are all necessary for the process of restoration work.

    It's a little 'reflection', but the images (animated ones) could be useful at least some number of words is above this line...

    (Animated - GIF to display in a web browser for full effect.)

    (Same basic steps for Windows 7 users...)

    ... and JUST in CASE WHERE someone does not know how (in Windows 8.1) put in place their system so that they can see the file Extensions (the letters after the dot in filenames)--> here is a GIF to show you how:
