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!

    Attempted, by receive the following message after attempting the very 1st command:

    PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> SC config wuauserv start= auto

    Set-Content : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'start='.

    At line:1 char:1

    • SC config wuauserv start= auto

        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetContentCommand

    PS-I hadn't seen the SC.EXE config .... commands until after I posted - this appears to have worked.  Current Windows 10 build successfully updated, hopefully the Adobe Flash ones follow suit!  Thanks for the provided expertise!

    If you are using Windows Powershell (admin) then you need to modify the 4 commands just a little.

    Instead of "SC", use "SC.EXE" (without quotes).  For example,

    SC.EXE config wuauserv start=auto

    Good Luck.

    When I entered the first command in that series I got the following error:

    Set-Content : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'start='.

    At line:1 char:1

    • SC config wuauserv start= auto 
    •
