Windows Update Error Event ID 31 Installing Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro 10586

Question

Wednesday, November 18, 2015 5:45 PM | 1 vote

Hi.  I'm on Windows 10 Pro x64 10240.  Windows Update keeps trying to install Win10 10586 and failing with Event ID 31 (below).  Can anyone please help ?

I've already tried all the usual things over the last few days, like rebuilding my user profile (took ages, complete waste of time), following Microsoft's recommended procedure for resetting and re-registering MS Update (took ages, complete waste of time), restarting, turning off various things, switching back from MS Update to Windows Update, changing where I get my updates from (MS servers only), trying under a different user account, etc.  No joy.

My computer is on a domain and I have local admin privileges.

Hi,

Let's see the description of this error code as below:

BITS can request ranges of updates. However, if the network proxy or firewall device does not support range requests, BITS cannot download updates. Therefore, BITS returns the 0x80200013 error code. When this problem occurs, the %windir%\Windowsupdate.log displays the following entry:
Download job failed due to insufficient range support
To resolve this problem, contact the vendor of the network proxy or firewall device.

To fix this issue, please first disable your 3rd party security app or firewalls, if there is any proxy settings on your computer, please remove it before install Windows updates.

Hope this could be helpful.

I worked around this problem by bypassing the company firewall temporarily and it worked straight away.

Hi,

The update issue can be directly affected by Firewall settings.

You may need to confirm with your network admin to know which Firewall settings block BITS / windows update.
