Can't install update.

[FAR0NE]

update kb4598242 won't install in more than7 attempts. When I shut down it tries downloads. When I start it tries to install then fails. Theres an error code 0x80073701. What can I do?

First look in the History and see if the update has been installed already.

If you don't see it there, open the troubleshooter (from the left hand column) , and then the "Additional Trouble shooters"
Select the update and run it.
See if you have any further success.

Hi Farone,

what version of Win 10 do you have?.

How to upgrade Windows 10 to the latest version

Typing the error code into Google ( including the x) gives plenty of information.

error update issues win10p build 19041.1, both mmc n services issues both tweaked. (2) flash update, netframe n other. example 0x8000ffff) usual stop antivirus firewall install...forget defender? deleted win download program in C directory + "$" type files $SysReset. anyone have straight FTP download for updates while bypassing usual update process? only option left DISM. Thks.

Wolfie,
This Build runs smooth with experience package 120.2212.31.0. Tried to install Windows 10 on SSD with GPT + UEFI in BIOS, but not take. Maybe use Virtualbox later on with more RAM. Have an OS on SSD but No downloads due to US govmnt what is going on?? Thank you!

Tried to install Windows 10 on SSD with GPT

Try it with NTFS!.

Installed Wins10 to SATA drive with UEFI. Must be misunderstanding...or misread. SSD Lexar website does not allow for downloads for its products. Initially, Disabled Compatibility Support Module (CSM) and kept looping and not allowing wins to install via USB to SSD, so re-enabled CSM for installation to the SATA drive. At this time, only Linux is installed on SSD drive. Hopefully windows fixes this problem or they may lose customers. Unless they are banking on Virtualbox for the fix or other.

I can only suggest a clean install wiping all partitions!.

Re-read Tuesdays post first line, maybe your reading skills are not what they used to be...hopefully they improve.

There is no need to be rude, maybe your manners will improve over time....hopefully. !

Wolfie,
Must be a true expert and I respect that.

Only use CMD prompt when necessary for example to format the disk or other things. Use power shell when running daemon tools. Been an OEM system builder for 20 yrs+ one reason why I never post on any windows forums besides someone has always posted the correct answer anyways. Best part about wins it is all categorized by devices and broken down into sections.
