We couldn't finish installing updates (KB4074588), error 0x80070bc2

Anonymous

Hi.

I'm unable to install the latest windows update 2018-02 Cumulative update for Windows 10 version 1709 for x64-based Systems.

The error is 0x80070bc2

It says updates are available, awaiting restart. When I restart it fails. "We couldn't finish updates.." Then says updates are available, awaiting restart. I restart again and it fails again. Over and over.

I tried using windows update troubleshooter, the tool performed its fixes but it had no effect.

Is there a solution to this?

Thanks

(Update - 2/17 Editing for clarity based on feedback)

If you are currently experiencing the 0x80070bc2 error while attempting to install KB4074588, please try this:

In the search box on the taskbar, type cmd.
Right-click Command Prompt in the search results and select Run as administrator. (Select Yes, when prompted by the User Account Control.)
In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type the following command and press Enter:

SC config trustedinstaller start=auto 4. Restart the PC.

In some cases, a second restart may be required. If you look under Settings > Update & security and you see the message Status: Awaiting restart, restart the PC a second time to complete the installation.

La risposta al comando è:

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

Set-Content : Impossibile trovare un parametro posizionale che accetta l'argomento 'start'.

In riga:1 car:1

SC config trustedinstaller start = auto

+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-Content], ParameterBindingException
