Windows 10: Error code 0x80070002 while downloading cumulative updates

I have build 2004 installed and the July / August cumulative updates will not install, failing with error code 0x80070002. This happens regardless of whether I use the update option or directly download from the Windows Update Catalogue


I have tried the solutions on the web pages related to troubleshooting Windows update errors. There are no issues in device manager.


Any suggestions on how to solve?

Error 0x80070002 when trying to update Windows

I have been having issues for months with Windows 10 updates failing due to Error 0x80070002 on my gaming laptop. The full message reads:

2019-06 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 for x64-based Systems (KB4503286) -Error 0x80070002.

I am currently on version 1803 (OS Build 17134.590) and I'm being told "You're currently running a version of windows that's nearing the end of support. We recommend you update to the most recent version of Windows 10 now to get the latest features and security improvements."

I have followed the instructions on Error Code 0x80070002 Fixed – Eassos Step-by-Step Tutorial but this hasn't resolved the problem. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Hello Abdulmajeed,

The error code 0x80070002 normally appears when some files in Windows Update are missing, this could be due to a possible corruption during the installation process of the said update even when the file was downloaded or extracted without any issue.

Consider running the Windows Update troubleshooter as your initial troubleshooting step.

If the issue persists, follow the rest of the suggested methods to resolve the said error code you've received:

Windows Update error "0x80070002" or "0x80070003"

Drivers won't update, errors 0x800703f1 and 0x80070002

I have about 20 drivers that need updating. Windows version 18363. The updates download but fail to install. All report error 0x80070002 or 0x800703f1.

I've tried:

• Clearing the download files and restarting the update service.
• Running the troubleshooter
• sfc /scannow
• dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, which seemed to hang after the scan.
• perfmon /report, which shows that one service is crashing
• Using the Device Manager to install individual drivers
• Various other remedies proposed; I googled the error codes and followed up...

Suggestions?
