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

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows update

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 as well am having the same problem described with the same error code. It also seems to be blocking KB4056687 from installing now too. I have tried all the steps short of a full clean install. When I used the media creation tool to do an in-place upgrade its stuck on 3% of working on updates for over 4 hours. I was required to restart and revert. Any other suggestions short of a full clean install? This problem seems to be extremely widespread. Will a fix be pushed out for this? Requiring who knows how many users to clean install would be a massive inconvenience.

    Hi,

    The link that we've provided in our previous reply contains all the steps you need to follow to resolve the issue. The step that resolved the issue of ChuckHoffman1 is the in-place upgrade process. There may be an issue with the system files itself that is why he cannot install the KB4056892 update. To replace those files, he performed an in-place upgrade. This will re-install Windows 10 but it will not affect your files and folders. If you've already followed all the previous steps in the link, we recommend that you perform an in-place upgrade to resolve the issue.

    We'll be waiting for the result.
