Windows 10: 0x80248007 Windows Update Error in W10 1903 update

Yes, I know, yet another Windows "feature update" error.

Is there anything to be gained by blocking this update for another 35 days in the wild hope that MS will have resolved matters and the update will then be installed correctly?

Alternatively, in what escalating order should I attempt to resolve error 0x80248007?

I have a lot of non-standard software in my current W10 1809 and I do not wish to lose it with a fresh installation via media of W10 1903.

Another option:
How can I suspend the installation of W10 1903 until May 12, 2020 (Windows 10 version 1809 end of service life)?

Thanks.

:)

Update error: (KB3172729) - Error 0x80248007 - continues


Hey Ken,

Thanks for the ideas. I had already run 1 updater . . . followed your instructions with no luck.

The system scan came back with no integrity violations. Got a message from the second updater (had that before) about a database corruption issue - applied the fix. Here are the results:

Windows could not automatically detect this network's proxy settings - Detected

Some security setting are missing or have been changed - Fixed

Service registration is missing or corrupt - Fixed

Potential Windows Update Database error detected - Fixed

Windows Update components must be repaired - Fixed

Check for pending updates - Fixed

Nope: Security Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3172729) - Error 0x80248007

The machine is a Dell Inspiron 5000 series with Core I7 and 16GB of memory - about 3 years old.

It is backed up.

Next steps?

Thanks again

 

Who has seen this vista update error

When you go to Windows vista update and it tell you to update a driver that you have already updated. Then it says failed to update and gives you the error code that tell you that you already have a never version than that. WTF? Why in the world would it be trying to updated something with an older driver. Well the only way to get it out of your windows update list is to go uninstall what ever that driver is then run the update and install it. Then run the newer drivers again.

Well I still can't get the Nivida Network Bridge to disappear out of the list. I uninstall the one in device manager and go to the update and before it's even done with that. Vista is automatically installing a newer version than is in the Vista update list.......
