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!

    Laura,

    A couple of thoughts:

    a) If  the computer was "updating for a long time", you MAY still be OK.  For me, this update actually took quite some time and many reboots to finally install.  If your computer is basically working, you might want to just watch if for 24 hours or so.  I would reboot a few times to see if things are changing.

    b) If you finally decide the update has not installed, try the "fixit" module again. 

    c) If you're sure the update hasn't happen, you might want to consider the clearing the "SoftwareDistribution" folder.   Read this:

    If you're an inexperienced user I wouldn't consider this.

    Thanks for the additional information. I will give it 24 hours and look into the link you sent if I am still having problems.

    Thanks again.

    Laura

    Laura,

    The problem is that KB4088776 will never install if it has failed previously.

    My advice is to uninstalled as many of the existing updates as possible (some do not have uninstall option). Go to   View installed update history  and then select Uninstall updates. After this start over with the latest updates. This is what I did and my system has no further problems to date.

    Take a look at my post on March 20^th^ on page 11 of this thread.

    Thanks so much as updates had been going around in a loop for hours. Your fix worked perfectly.

    Dear FatimaIqbal,

    I really am confused about what you're doing.  As a result, I don't think I can help you.  But here is one last piece of information.

    1. The reason some user have entered SC commands into the Command Prompt running as administration is to change the default start mode for the 4 system services that are involved with Windows Update.  Making this change has helped some people to finally install the Windows Update that keeps hanging.  If you don't have this problem, there is nothing to do.
    2. Once you have gotten into Command Prompt (Admin), enter the 4 commands (see list in prior postings).  Once entered, you simply reboot your computer by using one of the options in the Microsoft Start button.   I think you confused "rebooting your computer" with typing "reboot" somewhere.  You do not type "reboot".
    3. If you're lucky the Windows Update will start installing.  This doesn't happen for everybody.  It did work for me.

    oh:) haha i' so stupid 

    thanks for the note ill try it again and see how it goes

    thanks again
