Windows 10: Windows update Error 0x8007007e

Hello,


I having trouble to update my Windows 10 to the latest version 1803. I have went over all forum threads and tried multiple solutions like :

- Windows update troubleshooter

- Disabling anti-virus

- Clean boot

- Manually updating the update

- etc..


HW I am using :

Dell XPS 13 9350


SW I am using :

Windows 10 Home

Version: 1709

OS Build: 16299.309


I spent days on this without any progress, the update always fails with the same error code : 0x8007007e no matter what I do.


Do you have any recommendations that I can try?


Thank you,

Ilya

Windows update error 0x8007007e

Hi,

Getting the error 0x8007007e could be caused by a third party antivirus software that's blocking the update. It's also possible that the Windows Update Components could be corrupted.

For is to sort out this problem, we suggest disabling the antivirus software before trying the update again. Follow these steps:

• Right click the antivirus icon in the system tray (on the right bottom corner) and select
  Disable.
• If that doesn’t work, double click the antivirus icon. Select the Disable option from the pop up.
• Try the update one more time once the antivirus is disabled. Don't forget to enable it back.

If the issue persists, then please reset the Windows Update Components. Follow the steps
here.

By the way, what is your network connection type? Is the computer connected directly to the internet? If not, are you using any modem, router, or other network device?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards.

If not, then I suggest you proceed to prepare for an in-place upgrade repair install first of your build 1607.
Before attempting that, and noting your system is elderly, please

i. Download and install and run Hard Disk Sentinel (trial) to test your disk
Post a screenshot of its GUI.
To post a screenshot: use the icon above your post to the left of the video icon.
ii. If that's ok from an admin command prompt run
chkdsk c: /scan
Post a screenshot of the result.
