Getting error 0x80070BC2 doing Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KB4056892)

I'm very sorry to hear you're still having a problem.  For clarity, you performed both of the following?

a) You ran the "fix windows update" procedure; and

b) You set the 4 system services above start mode to "Auto".

If you did both and the update is still failing there is one more thing you can try before attempting an in place windows install.

Search this forum or google the topic "deleting file from the folder c:/windows/softwaredistribution".   Sometimes Windows Update gets confused about what to do when there's an issues with files in this folder.  If you are an inexperienced user you might not want to do this or you could seek help from a more experienced friend.

My problem with the failure of Windows to update was solved when I set the 4 system service's start mode to "Auto".  HOWEVER, I had previously run the "fix windows update" procedure and deleted the files from c:/windows/softwaredistribution so I can't be sure if it was a combination of steps that solved the problem.

Good luck.

Thanks for your help Alex.

I still can not install any Windows Updates.

Two solutions for you to try. One is officially provided by Microsoft and the other is provided by this community of posters.

I just searched for "fix windows update" in bing/google and it lead me to an official Microsoft site where I was able to download the latest windows troubleshooter. After running it and applying fixes, one of my computers restarted and applied the updates successfully. This should be the first thing you try. Here's a direct link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10164/fix-windows-update-errors

If the above solution doesn't work, you can try the community provided fix which many people have reported as working. It's down below for your convenience. I recommend you run all of these commands in the order provided.

open CMD as administrator

• How To: Click the Start button, type cmd, right click on cmd and choose "run as administrator"
• Type or copy these lines into the cmd window and hit enter for each one:

SC config wuauserv start= auto

SC config bits start= auto

SC config cryptsvc start= auto

SC config trustedinstaller start= auto

P.S. Microsoft: Lock these threads and post official answers to the questions so people don't have to guess at what the best and most viable solution is.

Glad i could help!
