Windows 10: How to resolve error 0x80070002 error

Hello,


I have Windows 10 Enterprise v.1909. Unable to install Windows Updates due to error 0x80070002. Here is some info and troubleshooting steps taken so far. These steps were run using a local admin account.


More than 40GB of hard drive space available

Date and time settings are correct.

Windows Update Troubleshooter could not identify the problem.

Renamed SoftwareDistribution folder, which reinstalled the prior updates again but got error 0x80070002 on a few including KB4578974 and KB4577671.

sfc /scannow found corrupt files but not able to repair them.

DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth keeps stalling at 62.3%


Suggestions and resolution are welcomed and most appreciated.


Thank you.

:)

 

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?

 

2004 update windows 10 error 0x80070002

Hello everyone,

thanks to some of the suggestions here and to some from other sources I have managed to fix the 0x80070002 error breaking up my feature update to 2004.

For completeness' sake and since it may help others, the following steps worked for me.

1. Download Media Creation Tool from Microsoft's official website
2. Create a bootable USB drive with the MCT
3. Boot up from this USB Drive
4. Choose install settings, click 'Next', but on the next screen select "Repair your computer" instead of "Install"
5. Choose "Troubleshoot" -> "Startup Repair" and let it finish
6. Restart into Windows and attempt the usual Windows update

It looks like the BCD on my computer had been damaged by the boot loader (Windows 10 + Recovery partition) and running the "Startup Repair" from the installation USB Drive corrected the errors.
