Windows 8.1 Update KB4340558 Fails with Error Code 80092004

Today Microsoft released six updates, but I was only able to get five to successfully install. The sixth update -- KB4340558 -- continually fails with error code 80092004.

The full name of the update is:

Security and Quality Rollup updates for .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, 4.5.2, 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.7, and 4.7.1 for Windows 8.1, RT 8.1, and Server 2012 R2 (KB 4340558)

In an attempt to correct this error, I have:

  1. Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter
  2. Run"dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth"
  3. Stopped and restarted services pertaining to Wnidows Update -- wuauserv, bits, cryptsvc

But none of these steps resolved the problem.  This particular update downloads, but simply fails to install.

I did a clean reinstall a couple of months ago, so I do not think my system is at fault here.

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem with this update?

    Thank you. Workaround 2 worked for me. I didn't even have to reinstall Windows on a production server or perform a "Clean boot" which has never solved a problem for anyone EVER.

    I wish MS reps didn't post here and clutter these forums with non answers. My issues ALWAYS get solved by a community member and NEVER anyone affiliated with MS.

    Workaround 2

    Uninstall the June 2018 Preview of Quality Rollup updates KB 4291497 or KB 4291495, run the DISM cleanup tool, and then reinstall the July 2018 Security and Quality Rollup updates KB 4340557 or KB 4340558, as appropriate. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Navigate to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Installed Updates.
    2. Locate the line item for either KB4229726or KB4229727, as appropriate.
    3. Right-click the row item, and then click Uninstall.
    4. Restart the computer as requested.
    5. At an administrative command prompt, run the following command:

    DISM.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

    1. Rescan on Windows Update for updates, and then install the July 2018 .NET Framework Security and Quality Rollup update KB 4340557 or KB 4340558, as applicable.

    I intend to simply hide the KB4340558 update for the time being.  Hopefully next month in August on "Update Tuesday" (second Tuesday of the month), a corrected version of this update will be available that installs successfully.

    I have done just that, sort of out of sight out of mind.

    ...

    Now I would recommend you to backup your files and install Windows again

    If re-installing the OS is your recommendation, you should not be giving advice to anyone.

    In a 32bit system I had trouble with this - then it installed - then it disappeared from the Update History .
