Hi Rehmina,

If you receive the Windows Update 0x8024a000 or 8024a 000 error when you use Windows Update, the cause may be an interruption of the connection between your computer and the Windows Update service.

Here are a few methods you can try to solve this problem.

Method 3: Restart the Windows update service and check.

 

a. press or press the Windows key + R, type services.msc and press ENTER.

b. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or click continue.

c. find the Background Intelligent Transfer Service and check the status.

    I have a HP dv7 laptop with Win7 SP1 (64-bit), 6 GB of RAM and all updates.

    Recently, I received another set of 3 that are specific to the hardware of my HP laptop.  I checked, and 2 other Microsoft and proceeds to their installation.  2 Microsoft installed OK, but the 3 which are for hardware of the laptop, failed.  (Update the Intel driver for another liaison WiFi, Intel - hardware and Realtek network card) The screenshot is (the center of the 3 lines):

    I right click each of the 3 defective items and screenshots are:

    I then right click on the line with the text: [Code 80070103 "Get help with this error"]

    and got this message for all 3 screens.  I enclose you one of them, because they are the same:

    A few hours later same updates Windows 3 reappears and I installed them again, this time stopping at the antivirus and anti-malware programs.  There was no difference - I had the same failed installation attempts.

    I would very appreciate advice, suggestions or recommendations on how to make these updates of Windows installed properly and successfully.

    Thanking you in advance.

    You should be happy that they're fail because generally, it is never a good idea to accept installation hardware (audio, video, network), drivers offered by Windows Update.

    If you look on this error page:

    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/help/10164/i-got-an-error-code-from-Windows-Update

    It is said:

    If you receive Windows Update error 0 x 80070103 while installing updates, you might be trying to install a driver is already installed on your computer or a driver that might be less compatible that you have already installed.

    Microsoft does not know what are the best drivers for your system and you should only get updated hardware driver of your WWW site of system manufacturers and only when you know that the update may solve a particular problem.

    There are many topics where people blindly install all the updates that are available from MS, then the find something on their system which suddenly ceased to behave (audio, video, network).

    If you see these hardware driver update offered by Windows Update, that is better right click and hide them so never see again you them.

    You can read this topic where I described how to keep MS you offer hardware driver updates in the first place:

  • Get a "0x80071ac3" error while trying to delete the .mp3 on Micro SD card 64 GB.

    * Original title: error '0x80071ac3' in Windows 8

    I have a micro sd 64 GB card but every time I tried to put some .mp3 files or even delete what is already on the card I thought it's dirty, I tried to format it still didn't work, I tried to remove it from the cmd prompt also did not work what I do now please with an explanation of the steps to follow.

    Thank you very much I understand your concern.

    Hi Mr.Als,

    -Did you check if the SD card works fine on another computer?

    This problem may occur if the card is damaged. I suggest you run the check disk utility and see if that fixes the problem.

    Run audit on the SD disk utility.

    1. In the start screen, type: CMD, right click command prompt, and then click run as administrator.
    2. At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /r
    3. Exit the command prompt.

    Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

    You can also try to unlock the switch and see if it helps.

    Look for the lock switch on the upper left side of the SD card. Lock switch may be a small white or silver tab jutting from the left side of the SD card.

    Keep us updated on the status of the issue.
