Running SFC (System File Checker) and DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) scans are effective ways to repair corrupted system files that might be causing the Windows 11 update error 0x8024a203. Here's how you can do it:
- Press Win + X and select Windows Terminal (Admin) or Command Prompt (Admin).
- If prompted by User Account Control, click Yes.
- In the Command Prompt window, type: sfc /scannow
- Press Enter.
- The scan will begin and may take some time. It will check for corrupted or missing system files and attempt to repair them automatically.
- Important: Do not close the window until the verification reaches 100%.
After the scan completes:
- Run DISM to Repair the System Image
- After both scans complete, restart your computer.
- Try installing the Windows update again.
