Windows 10: Can't install update KB3081448, get error 0x80242006

The title basically gives it away. I try to make windows update install the aformentioned update and it just instantly stops and gives me that error code.

:)

 

Trying to install feature update to windows 10, version 1709. Received error 0x80242006

Can't update windows update! (error 0x80242006)

 

Feature update to Windows 10, version 1709 - Error 0x80242006

I am getting the following error when trying to update:

Feature update to Windows 10, version 1709 - Error 0x80242006

Any ideas?

 

I also cannot install KB3081448, but with Error 0x800f0900.
Ran "sfc /scannow",attached CBS.log

 

Try download kb3081448 from Microsoft Update Catalogue?

 

I've tried to find it, to no avail. Either it's impossible or very well hidden.

If you have a direct link, it'd be appreciated.

Edit:

I managed to download the update manually but when I try to install it, I still get the same exact error.

 

Ok I got it to work. I followed these instructions:

press WindowsKey+R, type gpedit.msc and press Enter.
Click "Computer Configuration", click "Administrative Templates", click "System", and then double-click the "Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair" setting.
Select "Enabled", click check box for "Contact Windows Update directly...." - apply and OK

Type CMD in Search. Right click on it to run as an administrator. (You can also right-click on the start button and select "Command Prompt (Admin)")
Type the following 5 commands at the CMD prompt:


>WSReset.exe
>dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
>dism /online /cleanup-image /StartComponentCleanup
>sfc /scannow
>powershell
>Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}


Close the CMD window.
Check to see if the issue is resolved. If not, restart the PC.

I ran the downloaded offline installer for KB3081448, success!!
Download link 32Bit - http://download.windowsupdate.com/d/...f4d34ca319.msu
Download link 64Bit - http://download.windowsupdate.com/d/...ca9beab48a.msu

 

I can't even type anything in the command prompt after typing WSReset.exe. Could you walk me through the process like I'm an idiot. Do I type the entire thing into the cmd at the same time, or do I type each command separately? If so, how?

 

So WSReset.exe is the first command, it will reset the windows app store and actually launch the store on your PC.
Close the Store screen and then return to the cmd screen and just press Ctrl-C to get the prompt back.

Then enter each command from there on on it's own line and Enter then wait for each command to complete before continuing.
Hope this helps

 

Thanks for taking the time to help.

I'm still not getting it, though. I type in WSReset.exe, then ctrl+c to get the prompt back, then when I type "dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" it just gives me this text:

"Deployment Image Servicing and Management toolVersion: 10.0.10240.16384



Image Version: 10.0.10240.16384"

and then no matter what I do, I can't get the prompt back.

 

You will just have to wait a while - took about 40 minutes on my i7 laptop, a progress indicator appears after a while, [20%]...
Each command will take some time to complete

 

Yeah, that didn't do the trick either.

Thanks for taking the time, though.

 

Ok, I left out a step: the DISM command requires that a source for Windows 10 be available to make repairs. I forgot that I made these changes before I ran the initial set of instructions.
Try this first, then run the other steps:

press WindowsKey+R, type gpedit.msc and press Enter.
Click "Computer Configuration", click "Administrative Templates", click "System", and then double-click the "Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair" setting.
Select "Enabled", click check box for "Contact Windows Update directly...." - apply and OK

 

It says "windows cannot find gpedit.msc", which, I'm guessing is because I have the home edition of Windows 10. Am I right in saying that home editions don't have gpedit?

 

I suspect you are right, search for (windows-key+Q) "edit policy"
