This update has failed 21 times+. I have run trouble shooter and it is green.

Everything looks good until after the reboot. Stuck in a bad loop.

Event log:

Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80070BC2: 2018-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KB4056892).

Any help would be appreciated.

Moved from: Windows / Windows 10 / Install & upgrade

PLEASE FIX THIS.  This update has failed over 20 times.

Surely at least one Microsoft employee is smart enough to fix this problem.  A simple call to any of the people suffering from the problem would allow this one employee to see what's wrong.

EXTREMELY UNHAPPY.

Hi

open CMD as administrator, an type one by one:

SC config wuauserv start= auto [Press Enter]

SC config bits start= auto [Press Enter]

SC config cryptsvc start= auto [Press Enter]

SC config trustedinstaller start= auto [Press Enter]

reboot system

Hope this helps!

    I spent hours on the phone in several calls to MicroSoft support with this problem a month or two ago.  I thought is was fixed but it started all over again.  Please fix this MicroSoft!

    Hello,

    I have tried to get my command prompt to work in administrator mode but it will never open with the administrator command prompt written on top. When I try to enter the information you suggested above in regular command prompt it states it won't allow this action? I am having the same problem with windows trying to update with  error of 0X80070bcs. Computer keeps trying to restart to complete the update but it never can complete. Getting very frustrated.

    As with several other replies in this thread, this fixed it for me. I only needed to change the start up behaviour of one service:

    open CMD as administrator, and type

     SC config trustedinstaller start= auto [Press Enter]

    Then reboot your PC and after a number of further reboots, all updates were installed correctly.

    I did as you suggested. It did not work.

    The system still did a double restart again and on both retstarts it says it is installing updates.

    same error:

    2018-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KB4089848) - Error 0x80070bc9

    This does not work.

    I downloaded the updated troubleshooter. It says there is an issue with the updates. It says it fixes them after you "apply fix" & tells you to restart.

    Same issue: double restart & error:

    2018-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KB4089848) - Error 0x80070bc9

    This double restart has been happening since November It is now April.

    The error is different.
