Update error 0x80070490 work-around
If you encounter an update error 0x80070490 when updating on the Dev or Beta channel, try the following short-term work around. It involves moving your insider channel, picking up the update and then moving your Insider channel back.
Stage one - Release Preview
- Settings, Update & Security, Windows Insider Program, select Release Preview Channel.
- Settings, Update & Security, Windows Update, Check for updates. After the update, continue on to Stage two.
Stage two - Dev Channel
- Settings, Update & Security, Windows Insider Program, select Dev Channel.
- Settings, Update & Security, Windows Update, Check for updates.

Thank you for your time,
