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!

    Went through the chat line for Microsoft and advised to download a new version of windows, keeping existing files, this has solved the problem.

    My help desk at work at me do these steps which fixed my issue:

    1. Stop the Windows Update windows service.
    2. Delete everything in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\
    3. Restart computer.

    I had to restart twice to get it to work.

    If trying to install the update manually then i have one solution that will work right away.

    Although this may seem scary but we are basically hoing to reinstall windows.

    what you need to do is download the windows 10 media creation tool from here:

    UK

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10

    US

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

    once downloaded run the installer and you will have 2 options download an ISO etc and "Upgrade this pc".

    Even thought you may already have windows 10 what this will do is reinstall windows like if you upgraded from windows 7/8 and in the process will download any updates so when it installs it will have most updates (like the one that is causing you trouble). Just make sure that before you install you make sure the setting (keep my files) which should be automatically enabled is checked. once installed all of your problems should be gone!

    NOTE: one thing that is lost will be your desktip background so make sure you have a copy of that

    Hope that make sense,

    please reply if you have any questions

    best of luck 15JGlass
