  2. Can't delete $Windows.~WS

    Hi,

    This folder is created by Windows, during the upgrade process and you may delete this folder.

    Some times this will create an error when trying to delete this folder and I suggest you to restart the computer, sign in with Administrator account and follow the below steps again:

    Right-click on Start button to open the Win X Menu. Select Command Prompt (Admin).

    Now copy-paste the following and hit Enter to delete the contents of $Windows.~WS directory

    takeown /F C:\$Windows.~WS\* /R /A

    icacls C:\$Windows.~WS\*.* /T /grant administrators:F

    rmdir /S /Q C:\$Windows.~WS\

    Hope the information helps in resolving the issue. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.

  3. Restore $Windows.~WS after deleting it?

    Making a desperate effort to get past the notorious Code 80240020 failure which prevents the installation of Windows 10, I deleted folder $Windows.~WS (not a completely random act
    - I saw it suggested in a Forum which I can't now find again).

    Up to the date when I deleted $Windows.~WS, Windows Update had tried to install Windows 10 every day, and failed with Code 80240020. Since that date, with $Windows.~WS missing, it has stopped even trying!

    Maybe if I could restore $Windows.~WS, Windows Update would try again to Install Windows 10? I can't try that approach because I didn't back up
    $Windows.~WS

    Does anyone know a way to force Windows Update to again download
    $Windows.~WS to my PC? I'm currently on Windows 8.1

    Thanks!
