    Windows 10 Update failed, error 0x80240034


    Hi,


    Need some help with this particularly stubborn problem. Whenever I try to update windows it fails giving me error 0x80240034. I'm running windows version 1809, build 17763.437.

    I have tried every fix I can find on the internet, including running update troubleshooter, resetting windows update, running SFC, and DISM.


    Dism gives me some strange results, DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth works, saying the component store is repairable. But then DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth fails, saying that the specified package is not a valid Windows package, error 0x800f0805.


    I have also tried to update using the update assistant, but this too fails. After the update is downloaded and my computer restarts to finalize the update and it fails, saying that changes to my PC are being undone.

    Using the ISO to update also fails in a similar way to the update assistant. I can't remember the exact words, (and I unable check either as now the media creation tool refuses to make a new ISO saying that an error occurred,) but it was along the lines of "failed during copying of windows files".


    There are many other things I have tried, so many I cant remember them all.

    Any help or insight would be much appreciated.


    Thanks, Charlie.

    :)

    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.

    To John W. Roberts,

    thank you for the files. I did not use them because I examined reason for error code once more with this result:

    "I use

    WIN 10

    Office XP

    Power Point 2002

    Access 2002

    WIN 10 Update looks for updates for this programs; resulting error code 0x80240034.

    I clicked at the update-info for each of this programs at "Update Verlauf" and was linked to a website from microsoft.com showing this information:We're sorry, this download is no longer available. "

    - one possible cause? It's a long thread, and you can see at the start SFC / DISM etc didn't help

    You could try downloading the iso manually, and upgrading without accepting updates (disconnect your internet e.g.)

  4. Windows 10 Update failed, error 0x80240034

    Update version 1803 (3) always fails with error 0x80240034

    Every time my Windows 10 tries to update to the latest version of Windows 10, I always get the following error messages:


    Feature update to Windows 10, version 1803 (3)
    Last failed install attempt on ‎11/‎25/‎2018 - 0x80240034

    Googling the update tells me that the update was released in June. This means that this update has been failing for six straight months.

    Does anybody know how to fix this?
