Windows 10: Windows 23H2 Update keeps failing to install 0x8007001f / 0x80242016... but already installed.

Hello,Windows update keeps trying to install 23H2 and asking me to restart, but when I do, it then complains that 23H2 failed to install. Yet, 23H2 seems to already be installed when I run the Windows11InstallationAssistant and or search my update history notice the successful install on Dec. 15, 2023 and then a series of failed install for the same update. The Event viewer shows an error code 0x80242016 while the windows installer reports 0x8007001f.Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?

:)

 

Windows Updates failed to instal

I just did step one and they have just all installed.... thank you so much.... it was quite frustrating having that update window pop up every 5 minutes and failing to instal every time

Thanks mate

 

Windows 10 Update keeps failing 0x8007001F - 0x20006

I would not be posting here, if it weren't because I've tried everything I can think of. I know that there is similar threads, but I have tried the suggested solutions in nearly all of them, so I am making a new one, in the hopes that someone can give med a clue on whats causing this.


What I am trying to do
I am trying to update windows 10 to 1709 (the Fall Creators Update) and now, 1803 (Windows 10 April 2018 Update)


System information
I am currently on Windows 10 Pro 64bit Version 1607 (operating system build 14393.1593) desktop pc

CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K Devils Canyon (4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 Processors)
Motherboard: ASUS Z97-PRO GAMER
GPU: NVIDIA EVGA 1080 SC
SSD for C: drive, HDD for ekstra drive.


The installation error
I'm getting the following error message: "the installation has failed during SAFE_OS with error in operation REPLICATE_OC"
With the error code: "0x8007001F - 0x20006". Screenshot:




Furthermore I found a useful tool from Microsoft called SetupDiag which concludes this is the issue:

Code:

Interestingly I sometimes get this SetupDiagResults.log instead with the extend code 0x50015: SetupDiagResults.log - Pastebin.com

For the record I have tried to "set Windows Modules Installer" service (Trusted Installer) to automatic start, reboot and tried the update again" multiple times.



The logs
C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log for today: CBS.log - Pastebin.com

C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Rollback\setuperr.log C:$WINDOWS.~BTSourcesRollbacksetuperr.log - Pastebin.com

C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Rollback\setupact.log C:$WINDOWS.~BTSourcesRollbacksetupact.log - Pastebin.com

The logs SetupDiag collected as a zip file: Deleted

Recent windows updates: Windows update recent log - Pastebin.com



What I have tried so far
I have tried the following ways to update for the past 5-8 months:

• Downloaded media creation tool and tried to upgrade with it
• Created a .iso file, mounted it and tried to update with it
• Created a USB installer with the media creation tool and tried to update with it
• Tried updating with windows update (built in)
• Tried updating with windows update assistent which got installed automatically (by windows update?)
• Tried updating by downloading and installing windows update assistent manually
• Tried many different combinations of choosing to install updates and not

Windows fails every time with the before mentioned error.


I have also tried "repairing my system" in multiple ways:

• Reinstall built in windows 10 apps using powershell:
  Code:

Full log: Powershell reinstall built in apps - Pastebin.com

• Repair with DISM, also using a Windows.iso created using the media creation tool as the repair source
• sfc /scannow reports two files it cant fix: CBS.log - Pastebin.com - are these important?
• Tried running windows-update-troubleshooter multiple times. It reports it finds problems that it fixes every time. Except it cannot identify the proxy settings of my network.
• Rezized my c partition to have 1,3 gb unallocated space
• Tried to follow Vijay_Verma on May 7, 2018 advice here.

Furthermore i did steps to minimize risk of failure:

• Removed all unnecessary hardware (except mouse and keyboard)
• Uninstalled my Anti Virus
• Updated my network drivers, graphic drivers, audio drivers
• Disconnected from the internet while updating

So to my questions now:
Question 1)
What exactly is SetupDiag suggesting here?

Code:

Question 2)
If you are a talented technican, can you tell me anything helpful on what is causing the update to fail from looking at the logs?


Please don't suggest a clean install, as I already know this is a option, but in my case, almost impossible to do.

 

Windows Updates failed to instal

I'm not sure how differant XP media center Edition is but you could clear the history \ cache if these folders are there.

Step 1 Register DLL files.

=================

By trying this step, we can check if the update engines are working properly.



1. Close all instances of Internet Explorer.

2. Click Start and Run, type "Regsvr32 atl.dll" (without quotes) in the Open box and click OK.



Note: There is a space between regsvr32 and atl.dll



3. Similarly, one by one, register the files listed below:



Regsvr32 msxml3.dll

Regsvr32 wuapi.dll

Regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

Regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll

Regsvr32 wups2.dll

Regsvr32 wucltui.dll

Regsvr32 wups.dll

Regsvr32 wuweb.dll

Regsvr32 qmgr.dll

Regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll

Regsvr32 jscript.dll



Note: If you encounter errors while registering any of these files then skip that file and continue with the next one.



If the issue persists, let's move on to the steps below to verify Windows Update services and temporary folders.



Step 2 Verify the relevant Windows Update services.

=========================================

1. Click Start->Run, type "services.msc" (without quotation marks) in the open box and click OK.

2. Double click the service "Automatic Updates".

3. Click on the Log On tab, please ensure the option "Local System account" is selected and the option "Allow service to interact with desktop" is unchecked.

4. Check if this service has been enabled on the listed Hardware Profile. If not, please click the Enable button to enable it.

5. Click on the tab "General "; make sure the "Startup Type" is "Automatic" or "Manual". Then please click the button "Stop" under "Service Status" to stop the service.

6. Then please click the button "Start" under "Service Status" to start the service.

7. Please repeat the above steps with the other services:



Background Intelligent Transfer Service

Event Log

Remote Procedure Call (RPC)



Note: Event log service is enabled on all of the hardware profiles; this service does not have an option to enable or disable on certain hardware profile.



If it still does not help, let's proceed to step 3.



Step 3 Reload the Update temporary folders.

===================================

One possible cause is that the temporary folder for Windows Update is containing corrupted files. Let's erase all the files there to get the system clean.



1. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.



Net stop WuAuServ



2. Click Start, Run, type: %windir% and press Enter.

3. In the opened folder, rename the folder SoftwareDistribution to Sdold.

4. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.



Net start WuAuServ



Please test the Windows Update website and let me know the result. If the issue persists, to clarify the issue and provide more accurate troubleshooting steps, please assist me in collecting the following information.
