Windows 10: [TUTORIALS]How to fix Windows10 Update Error code 80240020

I tried deleting everything in the download folder specified by OP, i also even tried deleting files in "$Windows.~BT" that i saw in another how to site... nothing worked. i tried 3 times already. first it said it was downloading just over 2.7gb, next it was nearly 6gb i presume because i deleted more this time. regardless this solution does not work for me. anybody have any idea why, or how to fix it?

Ok, you are in the wrong location..... Go back to this statement........::
1. Go to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download and delete all files in that folder only the files in download folder
not the download folder !
the way to get to the actual folder, click start and paste that C location in to the search or run box, which ever you have. and hit enter. Next, up in the search window click that folder. Now you can delete everything. Then go back to the next directive which will be about the Command Prompt. The rest works fine. My windows 10 is downloading now.... 7:20PM 07-30-2015

I just method 2 may be that will help you *Smile

 

1st method downloaded it , but still failed after downloading it again.
2nd method after the download fixed it..

Now saying preparing for installation.. Hope it goes all the way through..

 

I tried method 1 but after a lot of downloading, I ended up getting the same error code. Method 2 creating the AllowOSUpgrade in the registry did work for me. *Biggrin

 

Far too complicated for me, one of my pc's has failed 12 times and another 3 times, both from 8.1. Maybe an ISO would be easier.

 

Worked for me also!

 

ありがとうございました！I tried Method 1 several times and it didn't work. Method 2 worked like a charm. *Smile

 

Hi All,
I have windows 10 pro. edition 32-bit installed and working properly, when I receive this error code is when I go into settings..updates..and change the 'get insider updates'. I'm informed the computer needs to reboot, so I do so..that's when I receive the "oops something went wrong " prompt. I tried method #2 that's mentioned in this topic, but at least for me..that didn't my issue. Has this happened to anyone else..and if so, how did you correct it ?

Excuse me this method is only for the person that has this error in windows 7 or 8.1 when try to update to windows 10 only.
