error code is 8024000B 0x8024000B WU_E_CALL_CANCELLED Operation was cancelled. Doesn't make things very specific for me. For a guess: were you too hasty about something?

Code 80246007. 0x80246007 WU_E_DM_NOTDOWNLOADED The update has not been downloaded. Looks like you are going to have to find some more details about your symptom.

Robert, I have the original Windows 8 OEM disk that I bought when I built the machine. Sounds like you could at least create another partition, install W8, update it and then use that as /source: maybe even with /LimitAccess. But what I was wondering is what if you just make a semi-right guess about /source: without /LimitAccess does that make WU do anything different?

Hello, I have been getting the same Code 80246007 errors with the last 8.1update as well as the recent one. Had tried unroll all earlier updates, reinstall them, updated all drivers... none worked. Has someone solved this problem before? The last thing i want to do is to Refresh the entire laptop. Thanks in advance.

Error: We couldn’t complete the updates, Undoing changes. Don’t turn off your computer.
