Windows 10: cannot update multiple times

Whenever I try to download the new windows update it keeps giving this error 0xc0000142.

I searched the web but it seems to be an error code that seems completely unrelated to my issue.

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.


Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

updates to pc failed multiple times


i think its because i chose to have notifications off...? but anyways, i see recent updates list show multiple updates for various programs that failed to update. an hour ago, i tried running "windows10upgrade.exe" and it too failed. i see there are updates that look like they are downloading, but are just stuck there. and whenever i log off pc and shut down for the night, sometimes i get a brief notice, "installing updates" -dont turn off your pc..but too late after i click to shutdown. very odd. and the updated list shows only updates made in march of this year only. any hints?*Shock

 

Updates downloading multiple times

Hi Vicki,

When you see multiple Windows update installations in your update history, it might occur due to corrupted Windows update component. To isolate the issue, kindly answer these questions:

• Did the Windows updates go through successfully?
• What's the exact message listed next to the updates? (Example: KB4023057)
• What are the troubleshooting steps that you have tried so far?

We can use the
Windows Update Troubleshooter because it can help resolve errors that you encounter while installing the latest Windows updates.

In the future, please check the available update history in Windows 10 to see if it was successfully installed. Please select the
Start button, then select Settings > Update & security >
Windows Update > Advanced options > View your update history.

Hope this helps and let us know if you need more assistance.
