Windows 10: Windows Update gives error code 0x80070057

I have upgraded to build 9926.

My update history now shows 'No, updates have been installed yet.'

When I run Windows Update I get error code 0x80070057

Is there a way to get the updates to work?

:)

 

Unable to update to anniversary update error code 0x80070057

Original title : Error Code 0x80070057

trying to install Windows 10 Anniversary update on my laptops (which originally had windows 7 but now have windows 10) but keep getting Error Code 0x80070057

 

Trouble upgrading from Windows 10 version 1511 to version 1709

Thanks for your attention. The error code is 0x80070057

 

I don't know if this will help but seems like it is pretty common error as once even i got this error in my Windows... This Guide Helped me > Error Code 0x80070057 - Causes and Methods to fix it | Fix Errors

 

Try visiting update.microsoft.com and accept the control, then try a manual Windows Update

 

I just get the same error message!

 

Windows Troubleshooter?

 

As I see it, troubler shooter helps you to use Windows properly. It does not fix OS faults.

 

Troubleshooter has fixed windows update problems in the past on win 8

 

There are a few Windows Update trouble shooters, one is local in Control Panel - try it before dismissing it as a solution.

Here are some others:
Open the Windows Update troubleshooter - Microsoft Windows Help
Troubleshoot problems with installing updates - Windows Help

Thanks, that does look helpful. I presume that I will have to download the ISO for build 9926 and put it on a stick.

If I do this, how should I specify the /Source: operand? Should it be K:\Sources ?

 

I prefer putting the ISO on a DVD - it makes it easier.

All you need to know then is the drive letter of your optical drive

Replace G above with the letter assigned to your optical drive

 

Thank you for your help. That runs cleanly, I would never have worked that command line out!

Unforunately, even after a reboot I still get the same error with Windows update. :-(

 

Too bad that didn't work *Sad

Try a clean startup:

Launch System Configuratiion (msconfig)

on the Services tab:

Hide all Microsoft servicesPress the [Disable all] button

on the Startup tab: Press Open Task Manager
Disable all items listed
Close Task Manager
Press [Ok] on the System Configuration window

Restart your machine
Try a manual Windows Update from Settings -> Update and Recovery (not Control Panel)

The issue might be HW related.

A few other suggested fixes were to run wsreset

This might have more affect (works on Win10, not just Win8.x)
Store - Re-register in Windows 8 and 8.1

Try all three and test an update.

 

I have not had much luck! There is another new version of W10 due out later this month so I will try and upgrade to that.

When I upgraded to Build 9926 annoyingly a 450mb partition was created on my SSD without my consent. Fortunately the area used probably was really blank rather than containing a hidden partition. I consider it a rediculously dangerous thing for MS to have started doing.

I have just tried making this partition visible to W10. Doing this has not solved my problem.
