I have seen a few people with this problem on forums, but nobody seems to have a solution yet. Windows says I should restart because I have an update pending (this is 10586). During restart there is no indication that any updated are being installed or have failed to be installed. Once I log back into Windows I am told that there was a problem installing updates.

enter image description here

In the event log I can see:

Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8024200D: Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, version 1511, 10586.

Does anybody know what is wrong or how to fix this?

Here is how I fixed this issue:

  1. I booted into safe mode (using MSCONFIG).
  2. I deleted the contents of C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
  3. I turned off safe mode and booted into windows normally.
  4. I re-downloaded and attempted to install the update again.

The error code 0x8024200D means, that the files had to be downloaded again.

//
// MessageId: WU_E_UH_NEEDANOTHERDOWNLOAD
//
// MessageText:
//
// The update handler did not install the update because it needs to be downloaded again.
//
#define WU_E_UH_NEEDANOTHERDOWNLOAD      _HRESULT_TYPEDEF_(0x8024200DL)

So try it again, or download the Windows 10 Version 1511 ISO, mount the ISO, run setup.exe and upgrade to the new build.

I found that my system partition of 100Mb had only 3Mb free space. The solution was to resize the partition to 300Mb by transferring free space from the C: drive partition.

I used this webpage as a guide.

  1. Take all the regular precautions, backing up etc.
  2. Download and install MiniTool Partition Wizard Free
  3. Install and run the program.
  4. Right click on the System 100Mb partition and select EXTEND.
  5. Here is the annoying part. The slider is over sensitive. So I weighed down my arrow key and had it go up 200Kb per second. It took a couple of hours. I extended from 100Mb to 300Mb. Do try the slider, you may get closer to your desired size before using a weight on the arrow key to refine.
  6. Apply, reboot, the program will resize and then try your updates again.
