Error 0x80242017 when installing KB5004945 from WSUS (but not from Microsoft)
I have several clients running Win 10 v20H2 that are failing to install the update "2021-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 20H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5004945) from our WSUS server with "...
- I posted a reply with the answer and it was removed. No idea why. It's a service stack update issue. If a computer missed the May cumulative update then KB5004945 won't install in my experience. The May CU included the latest SSU. Without it, you get 0x80242017
Have you installed the latest CU from the Microsoft Catalog? KB5004237 includes a SSU update it would appear. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/july-13-2021-kb5004237-os-builds-19041-1110-19042-1110-and-19043-1110-ae798d3c-3de3-4c1f-b9d9-7391b71da889
skilley1425I have installed KB5003173, and KB5004945 still fails to install. Or more correctly, it installs but on reboot, it fails to complete and has to roll back. The new KB5004237 fails in the same fashion. It seems there is some component that is checked at restart that is failing and a rollback is triggered. All I can do is clear the Software Distribution folders and pause the updates or else I am bugged with a rollback attempt every time I start my PC.
- What you describe differs from my experience, so you may be dealing with a different beast.
Is your error code 0x80242017 or something else?
