Windows 10: Windows Update Client failed to detect with error 0x8024001f

Windows Update error 0x8024001 is one of the issues that show up when the Windows Update client fails to detect an update. When an update is available, Windows 10 OS connects with Microsoft Update service, and in return, figures out what should be downloaded. If there is an issue with it, it results in Windows Update Client failed to detect; Error 0x8024001f.

What’s causing Windows Update Error 0x8024001f?


There can be multiple causes for this error to occur, but it’s mostly when the client on the PC cannot connect to Microsoft Server and get the right set of updates.

Windows has a dedicated component or Windows Update Client responsible for figuring out everything related to Windows Update. In this case, it can be the misconfigured client or corrupt configuration file. Fortunately, it can be resolved by addressing those issues.

Windows Update Client failed to detect; Error 0x8024001f


First check your internet connections and ensure that they are working fine. Then follow these suggestions to fix issues related to the Windows Update Client:

1. Run the Windows Update troubleshooter
2. Run the Network troubleshooters
3. Reset Windows Update Agent
4. Reset Windows Update components
5. Run DISM and SFC Commands.

You will need a user account with administrator permission to follow these suggestions.

1] Run the Windows update troubleshooter




Windows offers a built-in troubleshooter that can take care of the misconfigured client, helping it download it.

Go to Windows 10 Settings (Win + I) > Update and Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooter. Select Windows Update from the list, and click on the Run the troubleshooter button. Once the wizard completes the procedure, click on Check for Update button, and the error should not occur.

2] Run the Network troubleshooter


Run the Network troubleshooters and see if they help.

3] Reset Windows Update Agent


Windows Update Agent or the client can be reset to its default settings. It will reset & repair all Windows Update-related components & registry keys, detect corruptions, replace corrupted system files, fix corrupted system image, Reset Winsock settings, and so on.

4] Reset Windows Update Components


If you do not want to rely on any script, you can reset all the Windows Update components manually. The list includes the following:

• Stop Windows Update Services
• Delete the qmgr*.dat files.
• Flush the SoftwareDistribution and catroot2 folders
• Reset the BITS service and the Windows Update service to the default security descriptor
• Re-register the BITS files, and the Windows Update related DLL files
• Delete incorrect Registry values
• Reset Winsock
• Restart Windows Update Services.

5] Run DISM and SFC Commands


Run SFC and see if it helps.

Else, you can fix corrupted Windows Update system files using DISM Tool.

I hope the post helps you resolve the issue.

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.
