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?

    On Windows 8.1 64 bit, experiencing the problem described, "Windows 8.1 Update KB4340558 Fails with Error Code 80092004".  I had a hunch that it was somehow related to last months optional "Preview of Quality Rollups..." for .NET Framework.  Note, that once installed, you cannot readily and easily uninstall some of these rollups.  So, I had to use System Restore to roll back the machine to a date before I installed the Preview of Quality Rollups, which was June 20, for me.  Upon reboot, ran Windows Update, and was able to install all of the security updates, including KB4340558.  Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the help.  This worked exactly as explained.

    Thanks very much for your posting to me.

    Ive tried a couple of times to put install it manually but all failed.

    Ive had hundreds of similar posts sent to me they are flooding my inbox.

    Called a buddy...he had similar experiences with windows 10 few months ago. Took him 18 hours to sort it out. But with this causing so many people to be affected he reckons that at sime point Microsoft will issue a new program that will supercede this and knock it off the system all together and will not show when you check for updates.

    Lets hope so.

    There are many users being affected with this update and I'm also one of them using Windows 8.1 (64-bit).

    The below link shows that this same update problem was talked about in many forums on different websites.

    I'm waiting from Microsoft to fix this problem.
