I have downloaded 2020-11 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 20H2 for x64-based Systems (KB4586853) and successfully installed via windows update. Goes well.

But after restart the PC KB4586853 starts download again and error occurs Download error - 0x80070002.

"There were problems downloading some updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this, try searching the web or contacting support for help. This error code might help: (0x80070002)"

  • Windows Update Troubleshooter could not fix that.
  • Several time restart also could not fix.

Now how do I gonna fix that?

    Hello Subhajit,

    I'm John an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. I'll be happy to assist you today. I understand you have a problem installing Preview Update KB4586853.

    If you do not experience any issues with your computer, there is no need to install optional preview updates. I recommend waiting for the next week Patch Tuesday. All fixes in KB4586853 will also be included in new updates next week.

    Kindly let me know if this helps or if you have any further concerns.

    Sincerely

    Seriously, Microsoft...the company needs to start paying people that have to deal/troubleshoot these widespread issues. If performing an in-place upgrade fixes these problems "each time" it happens, what might Microsoft have to say about the fact that this is now the 3rd time I've had to do such a thing, on the same computer, because one of these stupid updates that doesn't "take" or "stick".

    Just when I think Windows can't get any worse, it does. It used to be that every other "version" was a joke, but Windows 8, 8.1 and now 10...comical. Windows 10 is a disaster - always has been, always will be with this Software-as-a-Service approach.

    How about you stop the madness and eliminate the "build" releases until you can get your act together on the endless number of updates (that wreak havoc). Bells and whistles don't mean a thing if the environment isn't stable.

    Hello Subhajit,

    Thank you for updating me with that information. Can you confirm if it is already installed?

    Press Start then click Settings(Gear icon)

    Select Update and Security > View update history

    Click Uninstall updates

    Under Microsoft Windows, check if KB4586853 is in the list

    Reset Windows Update Components
