windows 10 can't install updates, error 0x80240442


Hello,

i'm getting an error if i try to update my new windows 10. this is the error: 0x80240442
and i have a picture with the error: Screenshot by Lightshot

it try to find an update and then it says: there is a problem to install an update, try it later.
but i try this more then 20 times and its still the same error.

can some one help me a little please :S

Hi Mel,

It's most likely Bits that's causing the problem. Run the following in poweshell admin:
Get-BitsTransfer -AllUsers

See what the jobstate says...if it says error or transient something run this script as admin (save with .cmd extension)

Code:
@echo off net stop BITS ipconfig /flushdns del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%Application DataMicrosoftNetworkDownloaderqmgr0.dat"  del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%Application DataMicrosoftNetworkDownloaderqmgr1.dat"  net start BITS  net stop wuauserv net start wuauserv
Then try windows update again...

first which one do i need do open as administrator? picture: Screenshot by Lightshot
maybe i'm a little bit noob but, how can i save what the powershell says?

i try it :S
this is what powershall says, picture: Screenshot by Lightshot

I can't see much in the screenshot - run each line I posted in the code in a command prompt window as admin.

okee here it is:
