Error 0x80240007 Windows Update

Question

_{Tuesday, June 4, 2019 10:50 AM | 1 vote}

Hello guys,

When I try to update my W10 Pro Laptops with Usoclient.exe StartScan (or with the automatic search) I got an 0x80240007 error or sometimes it says me that the computer is up to date but when I run Usoclient.exe Startinteractive the installation works fine.

I use Windows 2016 server for WSUS.

Any idea ?

Thank you !

1. In Start Search type: 
 %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore in this new window and click OK.

2. Delete all contents of this folder. (Hint: Use Ctrl + A to select all files and folders)

3. Retry

If the above fails:

Type the following command as Admin, and then press Enter.  It may take several minutes for the command operation to be completed.

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

Once it got completed do:

sfc /scannow

Hello,

For error 0x80240007 on Windows Update, we usually use two methods: Method 1:

Delete temporary update files in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore and C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download.

Restart Windows Update service

Method 2:

Restart Windows Installer service

Type net start msiserver and press the Enter in elevated CMD.

Restart computer and update again.

Thank for your answers guys,

It seems that the error code is fixed but installations still don't work. On laptops, it says me that the client is up to date but on WSUS I got 5 updates needed with status not installed and 16 updates with no status (but approval is "install" !)

Update : Error code is back and now status on WSUS is stuck at downloaded. 

Weirdest thing is our Windows 10 Desktops update perfectly !
