    Hi All,
    I'm having problems with Windows Update on many Windows 10 clients (build 1511 and 1607).
    All clients are connected on an internal WSUS server on Windows Server 2012 R2.

    Many clients works fine and regularly gets updates from WSUS, but on an half of them, I get this error if I check for updates:
    "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: (0x8024401c)"
    or
    "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)"

    I have followed all suggested steps available at this URL:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10164/fix-windows-update-errors

    1) I have executed the "Windows Update troubleshooter"
    2) I have manually installed the most recent update KB
    3) I have executed "DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth" and "sfc /scannow"
    4) I have manually upgraded the build from 1511 to 1607

    Nothing changed.

    So, I have tried changing my GPO to point to Microsoft servers instead of my WSUS, and if I do this, the Windows Update client getting errors, starts to work.

    On some clients, If I run the PowerShell command "Get-WindowsUpdateLog", I can see this log:

    I found a way to fix this error.
    I have upgraded the affected machines to Windows 10 build 1703, then I ran the "Windows Update troubleshooting tool" and all was fixed.

    Same here. At first I thought it was a local problem. In my stupidity I put back an image from a couple,of days ago on my work system. Didn't bring any solution. In fact it got worse, because it desperately tried to get updates for,as well Windows 10 as well as apps. Which failed with a boatload of errors as a result. MS is obviously not capable in generating normal errors like 'sorry the update server is down, try again later'. If I would have seen such a message I would not be in the shit I am now. :-(

    To me this seems like a problem reaching your WSUS server (or the proxy?)
    Is this really the name of your WSUS server? "https://servername.domain.ext"

    "servername.domain.ext" is a placeholder, not the real address

    Also, there is no proxy configured and no firewall between the client and the server.
    I can open the address "https://servername.domain.ext:443/ClientWebService/client.asmx" from the affected machines.

    Hi,

    As I know, Windows server 2012 R2 using port 8531 by default, but I noticed you are using port 443.

    Have you changed the port manually?

    “So, I have tried changing my GPO to point to Microsoft servers instead of my WSUS, and if I do this, the Windows Update client getting errors, starts to work.”

    Do you mean updating from Microsoft server will work well?

    Please enter the alternative server address follow the article below:

    It is recommend to ask for help from WUSU support as they have more resources to help you.

    Hi there. :)

    I know this is an old thread now but I had the same problem too. Sometimes Windows update worked and others not.

    One day I realised that the updates were always failing when I was using my wired connection. I switched to wireless and Windows update worked. I kept on changing from wifi to wired and testing the updates to check if it was always like that and it was. It only seems to work properly when I used my WiFi. I have no idea why it only works with a WiFi connection. It's weird. :) (Typical Windows).

    Maybe it may be the same for you..

    Hope this helps. 

    Best regards. :)

    Mine's the opposite. WiFi doesn't work.

    A different problem suggested a network reset to fix discovery. I wonder if this is somehow related as the network components used are the same.

    ....The update troubleshooter found a few errors the install has started again.

    Why doesn't Microsoft bake this into the updater? Especially for us insiders running preview builds.

    I was running into the same problem - have switched from wireless to wired and the problem was instantly solved. Now I have the latest updates downloaded and installed.

    I have the same problem here. On about 55 tablets installed in 2 laptop trolleys, as soon as I switch from a wireless connection to a wired connection, the Windows Updates begin to install. By cons, for me, this is not a solution because I can not connect these 55 tablets on the wired network. The Windows Update should always be installed with the wireless connection.  Do you have another permanent solution for me?
