    Update version 1803 (3) always fails with error 0x80240034

    That error code means the download could not complete successfully....

    In such cases, an in-place upgrade using an ISO made by Microsoft's Media Creation Tool should succeed where windows update fails. Note that the MCT now makes install media for the current version which is 1809. That should not be a problem and would be the version I'd use in your place (and am using on my PC). This tutorial explains the steps...

    But if you really insist on upgrading to 1803 you'll need to use an 1803 ISO. This 3rd-party tool from Heidoc can generate a link to get one direct from Microsoft.

    KB4493440 will not install, error 0x80240034

    Aditya,

    1709 OS build 16299.1127

    HP elitebook8470p

    no extra virus/security

    I tried the two things you suggested. After a reboot, it detected the same update, was unable to install it, and still gives error 0x80240034.

    Thanks

    Shawn
