    Good afternoon,

    i am running a WSUS on a 2008R2 Standard. Client Rules with GPO works, but i also got a not Domain Member Windows 10 Home.

    When i edit the registry to get updates from WSUS i always get the error 0x8024401c.

    I tried to use the hostname as DNS Name, as Ip, turned off the firewall of the 2008R2, deleted c:\windows\softwaredistribution

    i checked if WSUS console reports that client, no it doesnt.

    i dont get rid of that error. So i gave up and removed registry keys for

    windowsupdate & au

    After rebooting that windows 10 client the same error occours.

    I tried the windows 10 update fixing tool, it doesnt solve to even use without WSUS, it just says it could not fix the problem without giving a specific error number.

    Any ideas?

    Hello Ralf,

    If you receive Windows Update error 0x8024401C when you use Windows Update, it means that your PC couldn't connect to the Windows Update servers.

    Method 1: Follow the steps mentioned in the link:

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/windows-update-error-0x8024401c

     

    Method 2: Refer to the link and follow the steps mentioned in it.

    Method 3: I would recommend you to Run SFC scan and check if it fixes the issue.

    Therefore use the following script - start with DISM and SFC - at last u can run the whole script. Don´t forget to restart.

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
 
sfc /scannow
findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >c:\windows\logs\cbs\sfcdetails.log
 
net stop wuauserv
rd /s /q %WINDIR%\SoftwareDistribution
net start wuauserv
 
fsutil resource setautoreset true c:\ 
echo #### Info:
fsutil resource info C:
 
echo MSI
sc config msiserver start= demand
Net stop msiserver
MSIExec /unregister
MSIExec /regserver
regsvr32.exe /s %windir%\system32\msi.dll
Net start msiserver
sc config msiserver start= auto
    Good luck.

    Hi,

    >>When i edit the registry to get updates from WSUS i always get the error 0x8024401c.

    In addtion to David's reply, Windows 10 home edition will ignore the registry setting of WSUS.

    I tested it in my lab for another thread. Therefore, your question becomes that why does your windows 10 client can't get update from Microsoft Update.

    Best Regards.
