Windows 10: Windows 10 Update Error 0x80240439

OK, so just for my benefit... are we clean installing with the "Do not get updates at this time thingy" checked - or are updates being checked for at installlation?

 

Yeah thanks I did that after searching the issue up xD

 

When do I have the opportunity to check stuff? I don't remember seeing it.

 

I'll fire up a VM and see - can't recall off-hand (just remember always turning that off as it sometimes breaks the installation - it's probably a driver check - off the top of my head)

 

I was too facing same problem. Do you have antivirus installed? If so, disable it and then try to update. Simple fix, worked for me.*Cool

 

Thanks for the suggestion, but that's the very first thing I tried xD

 

Yep you are correct - it's not there...

I must be losing it.. (or it realized no network and hid it...)

 

Well, level 2 technician said it was a compatibility issue between the Creators Update and my Gigabyte motherboard (GA-H81M-DS2V)... and he was right! I did a final clean install of the Anniversary Update and everything is now working fine. I don't know if Gigabyte will ever release working drivers for Creators Update, but as long as everything is fine, so am I. Thanks to everyone who took time out of their day to help me, it's really reassuring to know that there's a community I can ask for help whenever I need it.

 

Excellent news indeed! *Smile
@WOT was spot-on about the driver issue.. well done!

 

Question for @Superfly.

Can the set command,

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

be added to the script as first command or does it need to be run separately for any reason. Additionally should something be run after the wureset.zip script to undo this "Set" command for security reasons.

So many posts on Updates failing this could be very handy and I will always note origin. Thanks for posting. Let us know about set command and the undo.

Wow, a lucky guess on my part. Thanks for all your help Superfly!

And a big congrats to Izzy and that tech who finally got you up and running!

 

@Caledon Ken
The execution policy is intened to protect against scripts being run - thus it won't execute a policy change from within a script if the restriction to run scripts are in place. It will have to be set in the PS admin console:

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned CurrentUser

after which it can be reset back to default::

Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted CurrentUser
Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted LocalMachine

 

How do we avoid windows updates from installing creators update, i'm just about to install a fresh version of Anniversary Update from 1703.

 

Hi jonnytrickz. Welcome to the TenForums @Jonnytrickz

First are you running Windows Pro? With it you can defer updates under settings.

If you are a "Home" user.

You will have to install, while your device is offline and then get the latest update manually and install it to get the security updates.

Before going online I think this tutorial should help but it stops all checks meaning going forward, until they end support for 1607, you will have to go to the catalog and get the latest cumulative update. If a home user I think you have to use Option Two.

Enable or Disable Check for Windows Updates in Windows 10

If you are wireless then you can set the connection to be a "Metered Connection" and it won't bring down updates.

There is another process whereby you hide the specific update, and let it check, download and install other updates.

Hide or Show Windows Updates in Windows 10

Neither of these methods is the recommended operating posture. If I may ask why are you rejecting the Creator Update?

The latest update of Windows 10 (17017) fixes the Code: 0x80240439 problem. But there's another issue not related to the new build but since may I've had an issue where in the store app the windows requirements weren't detecting my pc specs.
