2018-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KB4088776) - Error 0x80070002

I have been struggling with this issue for well over a month, It first started with the "2018-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KB4090913)". Now its update Tuesday and this months cumulative update (KB4088776) is doing the exact same thing.

I have tried all 5 of the steps provided by microsofts here:                            (More than once)

https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/910336/windows-update-error-0x80070002-or-0x80070003

Finally, I have done a clean install of windows 10 three times now in the past couple of weeks, to no prevail. 

After each fresh install. the exact same issue.

I am running Windows 10 Pro Education, Version 1709, build 16299.15.

After each install it seems to update no problem, but seems to only be an issue once I reactivate my Windows 10 Pro Activation key.

I gave up weeks ago, and was hoping my problem would simply be solved by the latest update, but that is not the case.

Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Linda,

    just open Command Prompt (running as administrator) and type each of those 4 commands exactly as Philippe wrote them.

    Then run Windows Update. 

    Do I open Command Prompt or Elevated Command Prompt?  What's the difference? 

    This thing is getting too confusing.  Do I type the whole thing exactly like this? What does SC mean and do I type the "start = auto"?

    SC config wuauserv start= auto

    SC config bits start= auto

    SC config cryptsvc start= auto

    SC config trustedinstaller start= auto

    My access was denied....now what?

    You have to run command prompt as an administrator. Just right click on command prompt and click "Run as Administrator". Then, one line at a time, you write out exactly what you see above (including spaces) and hit enter. 

    So for example, line one is: SC config wuauserv start= auto (then click enter)

    Once all four commands have been entered, you should be able to complete the update with Windows Update. It worked for me anyway. Good luck!

    It FINALLY worked!!!  Thank you Phillipe and whoever else posted this resolution.

    This just saved my day!!

    I was trying like anything during last week..

    Thanks man!

    I have had the same issue, update would download, attempt install, fail download and loop.

    solution was to manually download the 700+ mb update and install. reboot, open settings updates, and it will say it needs to reboot.

    so reboot again and everything was installed.

    You can find the update here:

    http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4088776

    edit. i guess anyone else should check if you have version 1709 installed by typing 'system information' in start, open up its the second from top.

    edit 2. oh my, although its solved now i should have checked error reporting before. it is fully spammed.

    Since february 19th till the 14 of march it has generated the following statements 432 times per day!

    That is almost 1 month of a wasted logical processor.

    I have been struggling with this same issue over and over again for a couple of days now.

    But since today there is probably a working solution! :)

    Go ahead and download the March 22, 2018—KB4089848 (OS Build 16299.334)-->

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4089848/windows-10-update-kb4089848

    You will find a link to the 'Microsoft Update Catalog' at the bottom of the page under 'How to get this update'.

    Or you can use this link: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4089848

    Select the update that suites your system and download it.

    I installed this update directly after a reboot when I got the message that KB4088776 failed to install.

    Also disconnect the internet from preventing KB4088776 to download it again.

    After applying KB4089848 update, your build of Windows 10 version 1709 will be 16299.334

    And Windows Update showed:

    Hope this works for you too!

    Regards,

    Roger
