Download error - 0x80888002
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I only got the error 0x80888002 on the not compliant Laptop and Desktop, easily reproduceable too. 😉
I could be wrong but the moment the error didn't even showed up on a Google search I knew something weird was up.
Looks like the error on download and the new message I got with upgrade from installation media are definitely caused by the changes made in appraiser.dll in build 22509.
So looks like you were right then, they tried to implement another block but messed up others as well.

Hi Sibro,
Looks like the error on download and the new message I got with upgrade from installation media are definitely caused by the changes made in appraiser.dll in build 22509.
As suggested by JuarezFioravanti Filho in his post earlier, replacing appraiser.dll with the older version dated 11/13/2021 from the previous build 22504 is a workaround for both messages below.
The same workaround fixes the W.U. download and the upgrade from USB installation media. (Offline without checking for updates).
I tried both and got up to 22509 without getting either of these errors. 😉
I cleaned windows update cache, but same issue when downloading again, it stops at 8% and can't complete update. Don't know if I can try something else, or it is a matter of waiting for a fix from MS.
You should just wait for a MS fix.
Hello, I had that error, I then copied the file appraiser.dll from 22504 c:\windows\system32 into the $windows.~BT\sources and the update proceeded. Then I made a backup of that file into another disk just in case. Suggestion: when it get to the 8% step the sources folder get "full", keep an eye on it to see if the 22504 appraiser.dll is not overwritten. (Done in a system "red flag"). Worked, now on 22509. Sorry for my english.
