Problems installing Windows 10 Anniversary Update (v. 1607)

Thanks for your reply.

I've noticed the error code while updating 1607 is: 0x8024200D. It seems to be a common error.

Trying to get a solution! I think that error code don't let me upgrade or a clean install.

 

error while trying to install the updates?

Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2538243) - Error 0x80070020

 

Two things:

Are you running any extra Anti-virus, anti-malware, firewall, anti-anything programs? If so, disable or better yet uninstall them and try again.

Open a Command Prompt (Admin) [from right click on the start icon] and run:

sfc /scannow

Do you get any errors from that?

 

Scan failed at 23%

I only have the Defender which is disabled

 

sfc failing means you have corrupted OS files and/or permissions which is causing the issue. If it were my computer, I would create a new Windows 10 installation USB flash drive or DVD from the latest (ver 1607) ISO file from Microsoft and do a clean install. That will help guarantee you won't have problems with future updates.

But - if you want to try to fix what you have now, you will need the correct ISO file that matches the major build number you have now (probably either 10240 or 10586), here is a good tool:
Microsoft Windows and Office ISO Download Tool

Once you have the matching ISO file you can try a DISM repair:
