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.

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]

Hope this helps!

    These commands turned the red cross into green tick in the Windows Update status. The KB4056892 and Windows 10, version 1709 were successfully updated.  HOWEVER...... when I click "Check for updates" the system downloaded the updates and automatically installed them again. When I restarted and check it again, it just kept doing this. Now I have successfully installed these updates for four times!

    Well I did get my system fixed.

    I had to do step 7 of this to get things working.

    For someone with limited slow data this is not cool.

    Hope it helps others.

    I guess it is possible MS fixed it first......  :-)

    Manual install says it is already installed.

    Windows Update is downloading it again and asking for reboot which fails and it starts all over again.

    That KB does not appear in the uninstall list.

    Note I tried uninstalling KB4054717 and reapplying. Update history now has it saying reboot required and the system has rebooted 3 times since trying to reapply KB4056892.
