I bought Minecraft windows 10 on Microsoft store but it requires a higher version of the operating system then what I have. I have OS version 15603.786 but the required version is 17134.0 or higher.
When I go to the check for windows update there is an option to check online for updates from Microsoft update and I have get this update notification "Feature update to Windows 10, version 1903 - Error 0x80242006". When I click retry I get the error in the title: 0x8024a105. How can I fix these errors and update my computer?
I ran the troubleshooter and the only error I got was "windows could not automatically detect this networks proxy settings". this is what it says with the 0x8024a105 error;
"There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x8024a105)"
any help would be deeply appreciated.
I had the same issue and tried to fix the problem by deleting the catroot2 folder which did not help. Instead I tried a post from the official German Microsoft support: https://answers.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/forum/all/ich-bekomme-immer-den-fehlercode-0x8024a105-nach/c547c506-5082-4c8a-85cb-a20811957472
In short:
Start cmd as admin.
Stop all Windows Update related services:
net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
Backup the folders C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution
and C:\Windows\System32\catroot2
.
Clean the content of C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution
and C:\Windows\System32\catroot2
.
You will need some tries. Sometimes the services restart automatically, so stop them again if the deletion is blocked.
Start the services:
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver
In best case, restart the computer, but in my case I hit update and it took a long time but then it worked.
General Windows Update fixes:
Run Windows Update Troubleshooter
This is done in
Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Windows Update > Run the troubleshooter
Rename the Update folders by entering the following commands in an elevated Command Prompt:
net stop wuauserv
CD %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution
Ren Download Download.old
net start wuauserv
Reboot before trying again.
Check that the BITS service is started
This is done by running services.msc
, where the service is named
"Background Intelligent Transfer Service". Start it manually if it is not started.
If none of the above have helped, force the issue by doing offline upgrade to the latest version. For details see the article How to Do a Repair Install of Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade.
If the last step also fails, repeat the installation while booting in Safe mode.
