KB3038314 which was recently deployed by Windows update refuses to install.  This is a 64 bit Win 7 Pro machine running IE 11.  I've tried both the Windows Update web install method and downloading the update separately and both methods fail.  The update is part of MS15-032 released on April 14 (Patch Tuesday).  Has anyone else experienced this issue and found a solution?  After the update fails there is a failure code of 80092004 displayed and a message that says "Windows Update encountered an unknown error.  I have tried the Microsoft Fixit Tool and uninstalling IE 11 and reinstalling.  Any advice would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

    Same error for me. Fresh install of Win 7 Home Premium, all other updates install OK. IE 11. Tried manual download and install, no luck. KB3032359 (what 3038314 replaces) installs ok.

    Same here.

    The two new updates (KB 2976627 and KB3032369) appear and are installed properly.

    After that KB3038314 still fails to Install

    EVen after hiding and restoring again and again.

    I just remembered that I did run CCleaner at some point. I thought it was before I made any progress at all. It only removed about 50MB of temp files, and did not seem to make a difference. The other thing I did was to make sure I opened IE and got rid of the first time run stuff. I disabled the Live bar when it asked. I wish I knew better what I did to fix it, but I only tried a few things.

    I did step 1 as many other people in that thread and it does not work

    About Step 2

    Before I start making a lot of manual changes in my system and registry, can you tell me what do you plan to achieve taking into account that this is completely fresh system just installed few hours ago without any additional software?
