  • Windows Update error Code 80070020

    Vista Home Premum SP2.

    I tried to install KB2563894 in Windows Update and get the code 80070020.  I followed all of the info on aid and searched the forums without help.  I contacted officials of 3 Ms.  2 says to reload Windows and 1 said just hide.  I thought I would try the forum before I reload Win.

    I tried Safe Mode.  WU would not even run.

    I tried a clean boot.  Same mistake.

    I disabled the AV and firewall.  Same mistake.

    I tried the Fixit.  Same mistake.

    An officer ran sfc/scannow, who said there were mistakes, but that fixed it.  Same error, though.

    I tried to download and install it manually. Same mistake.

    I reinstalled components WU.  Same mistake.

    I checked the log:

    Please help, Fred

    I spent about 4 hours with them and ended up with the solution "hide update".  I noticed 1 agents tried to delete a registry with KB2653894 entry in it, but that he could not because of permissions.  I googled how to set permissions and remove all references to this KB.  He then installed correctly.
