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]

Hope this helps!

    The problem can be solved by

    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!

    How do I reverse this? After following these instructions, my machine won't boot.

    Can anyone tell me what the default values are for these settings?

    These settings allow the update to install, but the update puts me in unbootable state. If I go back to a restore point, the update installs immediately and I'm back in unbootable state.

    I have a message which says this has been tried 38 times, now says my computer is at risk as security updates are not being loaded. Have tried all the tests including some already suggested here, isn,t it time this was sorted out by Micrsoft.
