    I've tried numerous posted articles to correct the 0x80242016 error to no avail. Will I've tried various suggestions to delete the the update and download it, or stopping/starting various services before attempting the update. I have not be able to use the DISM command, with the local source files because I cannot locate the Windows source files on my PC. Open to ideas and suggestions.

    • What risk to my machine would there be to perform a Windows 10 Update In Place from 1909 to 20H2 assuming I can download an install the most current version/build?
    • Would the update in place reuse my current license/activation.

    but it turned out already have installed that update in "installed updates"

    Windows 10 Feature Update 20H2 consistently fails with 0x80242016 error [​IMG]

    So the main question is "do i need reinstall that update or it installed correct and everything is okay?"

    Greetings.

    I performed a clean installation of Windows 10, the current version. But I have the problem that the kb4515384 update cannot be installed with error 0x80242016. Do you know what caused this error?
