Windows 10: 2x update Error 0x8E5E0408

Hi guys,

I’m running Windows 10 – 1809 x64, now on build 17763.775. (Still got Win7 Pro SP1, Group B running on secondary HDD, but Win10 is now my daily runner.)
Updates are handled by WuMgr and occasionally I download and install necessary updates through the Catalog. That went well till now:

I now have two updates that either get a ‘not applicable’ or ‘not installed’ result with a 0x8E5E0408 error:
KB 4524099 (4515843) Cumulative .NET 3.5, 4.7.2, 4.8
KB 4521862 Servicing Stack Update

From what I can find online, this error has to do with Windows Store, which I removed along with other apps immediately after installing 1809.

There seems to be a work-around solution https://social.technet.microsoft.com...in10itprosetup but that requires me to create a new user with a MS-account, and I work only with local accounts.

Any other solution/ suggestion?
Thx

:)

 

Windows Store Error 0x8e5e0408

Hello world,

I am trying to download the MineCraft Windows 10 Beta from the Store and I keep getting the error code 0x8e5e0408. I have searched around for a solution and haven't come across anything that works.

Error code 0x8e5e0408 windows app store

That was the post that offered the most options for help and none of them worked for me. I tried the command prompt suggestion and ran into the same thing. I also tried the windows app troubleshooter, but that will not work on windows 10 (yet). Along with
the troubleshooter I tried the various options on http://windows.microsoft.com/en.us/windows-8/what-troubleshoot-problems-app but much of that is only applicable to 8.1.

I have also tried installing other apps after this. They all worked perfectly, so it is solely this one.

Any help is much appreciated! Thanks

 

Vista Automatic Updating Error

Automatic Updates isn't currently running.

 

Why am I still on 1809?

When are you seeing this error?
a. any attempt at Windows update incuding 1809 CUs
b. attempt to upgrade to 1903
?

Your post is not clear on this and suggests there could be two questions:
a. Why is Windows update failing
b. Why have I not been offered 1903

Please post a screenshot of your Update History.
To post a screenshot please use the Insert Image icon above your post.

Meanwhile this suggests the error number can be associated with Store updates:

Thanks for the clarification.
