Windows 10 & Windows Server Update Error 0x800705b4

Posted on by

KB ID 0001569

Problem

I can’t remember Windows being so diabolically bad at simply updating? I built a new 2016 server, simply to create a VM template, and it would not update;

There were some problems installing updates, but we’ll try again later. If you keep. seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information this may help: (0x800705b4)

Solution

Well that’s a very polite but useless error! (Thanks anyway). One thing I have noticed, is this tends to happen if one of the updates is an update for Windows Defender, so open that fist, and perform a manual update of that, then try again.

If that does not work, then run SCONFIG, and select  option 6.

A new windows will open, follow the instructions, (THIS TAKES AGES.) Seriously, start if going, and check it the next day!

After that, you should be good to go 🙂

4. First make sure the following three services are present and have started,

If any are not running right click > Start. If they are all present and running then > Locate the “Windows Update” service> Right click it > Stop.

5. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:Windows > Locate the SoftwareDistribution folder> Rename it to UpdateOLD.

6. Go back to the service “Windows Update” service you stopped in step 4 and restart it > Then retry Windows Update.

7. If your still not working, then manually reset the Windows Update components using the BITS repair tool, or doing it manually, for instructions CLCK HERE.

8. You can also try using the Fix WU Utility (Written by Ramesh Kumar from TheWindowsClub ).

Note: If all else fails try using the Firegen Windows update Log Analyzer.

Server 2012 – Windows Update Error ‘8024402C’

Posted on by

KB ID 0000715 

Problem

I saw this on a freshly built Server 2012 (Datacenter) server this morning.

Solution

First discount the obvious, make sure this server has internet access and is not going out via a proxy server, (unless you have configured the proxy properly for Windows Updates).

In my case the fix was simple, I’m assuming that because it was a new server, it was waiting on a reboot to do something with the Windows Update Service. I say this because after I rebooted it. (Press Windows Key+I).

The server was more than happy to start pulling down updates.
