Windows 10: Windows 10 Update error 0x80040154

Hello. After recently solving the error "Something went wrong. Try to reopen settings later." this started. I have no clue if there even actually is a problem as it doesn't show any failed updates but I fear it will not show me updates when they become available. How can I go about fixing this?

Registry Error - Windows Update - Error Code 0x80040154

Hello all,
I have an issue with my WIndows Updates, I am getting error code 0x80040154 and all the sites I checked did not help.

Here is my Windows Update log:
Got 9482F4B4-E343-43B6-B170-9A65BC822C77 redir SecondaryServiceAuth URL: 117cab2d-82b1-4b5a-a08c-4d62dbee7782""
CoCreateInstance Failed: hr = 0x80040154
Failed to retrieve SLS response data for service 117cab2d-82b1-4b5a-a08c-4d62dbee7782, error = 0x80040154
Caller Service Recovery failed to opt in to service 117cab2d-82b1-4b5a-a08c-4d62dbee7782, hr=0X80040154

Checked in the Registry and here is what is listed
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Services\Pending\117cab2d-82b1-4b5a-a08c-4d62dbee7782

I have tried everything to get it to the correct location without any luck.

SFC / DISM / ResetWUEeng / WinFixit / and the list goes on.

I also deleted it and broke my computer and could not restore it. Had to start all over again and still received the same error message.

Does anybody have any suggestions. Thanks.

Glad you're fixed...as you say "for now" .

Odd, it seemed to go full circle back to this, a possible botched MS update... Registry Error - Windows Update - Error Code 0x80040154


Make a good image backup of your system. Like Mike suggested, Macrium is an excellent choice.

Good day all - after letting all the downloads processes, I still received the same error message - here is a screen shot of the downloadsAttachment 122713 that were installed, screenshot of the registry and copy of the windows update log showing where service 117cab2d-82b1-4b5a-a08c-4d62dbee7782 first appeared. I think my next step will be to do a RESET and see if the system will make corrections.
