Windows 10: Windows 10 Content Update failed 0x80240034

Hi,


I hope someone can help. I have routinely been forced into a loop of trying to update this copy of windows since 2018 and the same 2 hour process ends by rolling me back after failing the install. I must admit, I have tried just about every solution during that time from the different methods of installation to repairing files, uninstalling software, deleting directories.


I thought I would give this method a try as I would really like to sort it out without having to fresh install.


Here are my Logs :-

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.

 

Windows 10 fails to update


When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.
