Windows 10: "Feature update to Windows 10, version 20H2" failed to install from 12/10 to 12/29 with...

This update attempt to install daily. On the Windows Update page in Settings, it gives a code of 0x8000ffff. I have followed suggestions of previous posts on this code issue and have done the "sfc /scannow" and also "dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth" at the command prompt. They both complete with no errors.

Any suggestions on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

:)

Windows 10 installing progs

I decided to take the plunge and upgrade to windows 10 from 7. I used the Media Creation Tool from MS website. It took awhile, but I am finally running Windows 10 (12-14).

I opened the new App & Program feature to remove programs that I no longer needed. Scrolling down the list, I was horrified! Apps that I didn't install somehow magically installed themselves. Two programs stood out: Facebook and Candy Crush Soda Saga. Both programs have those tale-tale icons that they came from Windows Store (which I've never even opened). The install date for both of them were on 12-26.

Is this a common thing for Windows 10? Or is it because I did an upgrade and not a clean install?

 

Feature update to Windows 10, version 1709

Hi,

I corrected my mistake and logged in as adminstrator and followed the instructions that you gave. Initially i did run SFC and got the message: Windows did not find any integrity violations.

Then I ran DISM which went OK.

The I ran the commands in Windows Powershell (that you suggested). This time everything went fine.

Then I tried to update windows to 1709 once again, but it failed.

The detailed errors that appeared are listed below:

• 2018-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB4088787) - Error 0x80248007
• Feature update to Windows 10, version 1709 - Error 0x80248007
• Logitech - Other hardware - Logitech USB Input Device - Error 0x80070002 ----I tried to take out the USB device but still the 1709 fails.
• NVIDIA - Display - 12/29/2016 12:00:00 AM - 21.21.13.7654 - Error 0x80248007
