Windows 10: How can I find what the following Windows Update error codes mean?

While patching different Windows server versions, Window Update gives us codes that are not listed in any Microsoft document that is published.Code:-2146498511-2147010815-2147023887-2147021879These are all big question marks with no meaning. While there are severalhundred others that are documented:-2147024784 -> ERROR_DISK_FULL-2147023293 -> ERROR_INSTALL_FAILUREetc.Three pages which have detailed information have zero info on the four above.https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/15260.windows-update-agent-error-codes.aspxhttps://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/troubles

error following an update

Hi Patricia,

Thank you for using Windows 10.

The error code suggests the issue to be of Windows Updates. I suggest you to
Run the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool which fixes the Windows corruption error if there are any. Follow the steps:

• 
  Press Windows+X.
  
• 
  Click on Command Prompt (Admin).
  
• 
  Type the command DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
  and hit Enter.
  

If the issue still persists, then let us know and we'll be glad to help.

Can you please tell me the error code you receive when you get the update failed message? If it is 80070002 or anything like that, follow these steps:



Well, first of all let me just say that I am not a computer professional. However, I have had the same problem with my 32-Bit Windows Vista Home Premium (making Microsoft's statement null and void) and I have solved it! Here are the step by step instructions:



1) Go to the Start Menu.

2) Click on Computer.

3) Open up the drive where windows is installed (usually your C drive).

4) Open the Windows Folder.

5) Scroll down a bit and locate the SoftwareDistribution folder (exactly like that).

6) Open the Download folder.

7) Open the Install folder.

8) There sould only be one file there. Right click on it and select "Run as Administrator".

9) After entering an Administrator password, run the installation, using the default values and clicking yes at the license.

10) After the installation is complete (shouldn't take more than a few minutes), restart your computer (as an added precaution, though not necessary).

11) After the computer restarts again, run Windows Update again. It should run as normal. All fixed!

I apologize for Microsoft's ineptitude.


This worked for me guys...
