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.

View failed update error code.

Please post here with your error code, so that the Community can try to help guide you appropriately.

    I turned off my firewall and AV and all the update problems were fixed, then reenabled them, probably have to do the same next time there are updates.

    And come July you'll not get security updates.  Call 1-800-Microsoft.  State that you need help with KB2919355.

    I rec'd a slightly different notice than above.  Sorry, we couldn't complete the Windows 8.1 update.  Restoring your previous version of Windows.  When I check "Change PC settings" there is no entry for "Update and recovery."  Included with the "Sorry" notice was the following number: 0xC1900101-0x2000A.

    Thanks,   Jack

                 Error code 800F0902

    Must be a new code.  The last one in that category is  800F0901

    Find a log where it was used.  What's the context?
