Dear MSFT,
MSFT's new system security actions will setback computer safety to the dark ages and help terrorists gain a huge advantage; http://www.infoworld.com/article/3128983/microsoft-windows/how-to-prepare-for-the-windows-781-patchocalypse.html
Please fix your operating updating systems;
We won't accept this...
Boggin:
Neither Shane or anyone else on this forum is responsible for MSFT's errors - if you have any gripes, take it up with them.

Boggin,
everyone having updating issues better read this 1st.
It applies to every error code you will be trying so solve;
YOUR welcome!
Boggin:
Yes I know - I've read it and I've already received and installed two updates over 100MB this month on my Win 7 machine.
While we don't know what they contain, it can resolve where some updates install and others don't, so as long as any don't break a system, then it could be advantageous - but as I've said, no one on here can do anything about the way MS conducts its business.

Hmm, very interesting :thinking:
I have noticed that the updates have changed over the last couple of months, and have only just managed to get my W8.1 laptop updated after a lot of hassle and even more time :sad: I also got the 8024402c update error for long enough, and finally resolved it using a link I may well have found on here, something to do with resetting the netsh proxy in the command panel, among other things....
Anyway, on a related note, I've just noticed that the dreaded "GWXConfig Manager" and "GWX Update Detector" were running in my task manager, so quickly killed them and ran the trusty GWX Control Panel which dutifully, and correctly, told me that the Windows 10 app was installed on my machine!! :omg: the upgrade option and settings weren't enabled, but nevertheless the GWX app has somehow been installed through one of these new "bundled" updates, not good in my opinion.
Just for the record I have automatic updates turned off (on both my machines), WU service set to Manual, and I manually check and update every month, after reading the KB info & choosing which I actually want installing. Security updates I tick by default, others I check, but even so this has been sneakily bundled in with either a security or cumulative roll up update - Be Warned..... :rolleyes: :teeth:
