This error may appear anytime a Windows Update fails. To investigate possible solutions, we need to start with the specific error code.

We can do this by viewing your update history.

  1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen (or, if you're using a mouse, pointing to the lower-right corner of the screen and moving the mouse pointer up), and tap or click Settings.
  2. Tap or click Change PC settings, and then Update and recovery.
  3. Tap or click View your update history.

    The only solution now is a refresh/rebuild.  There's no other automated fix.  The servicing stack is screwed up and can't get this update installed.

    I'm sorry that I don't have any better solution.

    After all this time this is unacceptable. Microsoft made the mistake they need to own up to it and fix this.

    I cannot update at all I get error code 802

    I'm not getting an error code at all. This is a well known issue at this point. Hopefully Microsoft will do the right thing and eventually release an easy fix for this.

    By refresh/rebuild, does that mean re-installing Windows 8 and then upgrading to Windows 8.1 again?
