Resolving Windows 10 Update Error 0x80240034

In Windows 10, there are numerous strategies to overcome the error code 0x80240034:

  1. Initiate a system reboot and attempt the update once more. Often, a reboot resolves such complications.

    net stop cryptSvc
    net stop bits
    net stop msiserver
    ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

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