Windows 11 Insider Preview 23545.1000 (ni_prerelease) - Error - 0x80070032

[fhlaterza]

Hi!

I tried to update my build 25316 to 25345, from Windows Update,  but I received that error (0x80070032)

Also, I did the download for build 25316 (.ISO), and I received the message: 

"Unable to determine if the computer has enough space to continue installing Windows 11... "

I don't know if it can be a problem to do this update, but it can be important:

In my notebook, I have 2 ssd disks operating with mirror.

Can you help me?

Hi @fhlaterza,

Error 0x80070032 is a generic Windows error that can occur for a variety of reasons. In the case of Windows Update, it can often be caused by corrupted system files, insufficient disk space, or a conflict with another program or service.

The fact that you are also getting an error message about insufficient disk space suggests that this may be the root cause of the problem. Even though you have two SSDs in mirror configuration, Windows may still be having trouble determining how much free space is available.

Here are a few steps you can try to fix the issue:

1. Make sure you have enough free disk space. The Windows Update website recommends having at least 9 GB of free space available for feature updates. However, it is generally recommended to have at least 15-20 GB of free space available to avoid any problems.
   
   
2. Run the Windows Update troubleshooter. This tool can automatically identify and fix common problems with Windows Update. To run the troubleshooter, go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot and click on Run the troubleshooter next to Windows Update.
   
   
3. Manually reset the Windows Update components. This can be done by running a few command-line commands. To do this, open an elevated command prompt window and run the following commands in order:
   
   

net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver

ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old
ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2.old catroot2

net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver​

1. Try installing the update from an ISO file. If you are still unable to install the update from Windows Update, you can try installing it from an ISO file. To do this, download the ISO file from the Microsoft website and then create a bootable USB drive or DVD from the ISO file. 
   
   

   Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com)
   
   

   Once you have downloaded the ISO file, you can create a bootable USB drive or DVD from the ISO file using a variety of different tools. One popular tool is Rufus.
   
   

   To create a bootable USB drive using Rufus, follow these steps:

   1. Download and install Rufus.
   2. Insert a USB drive into your computer.
   3. Open Rufus and select the USB drive from the Device drop-down menu.
   4. Click on the Select button and navigate to the ISO file that you downloaded.
   5. Select the Partition scheme and Target system type options that are appropriate for your computer.
   6. Click on the Start button to create the bootable USB drive.

   Once the bootable USB drive has been created, you can boot your computer from the drive and install the Windows 11 Insider Preview update.

Hi Guys! Thanks for the recommendation, but I really had to physically remove the HD mirror to be successful in the update.
The Windows Insider is not prepared to install update in this situation from mirror of HDs.
