Re: WindowsUpdate_80240020 error while installing windows 10 update

Was the install prompted by you or did the little W10 reminder from the task bar tell you it is ready for the upgrade? If the former, your W10 upgrade tasker may not be ready even though your machine may actually be ready. It's stupid, I know, but I have ready this from a few folks regarding this particular error.

I get the same error when I force it from Windows Update even though the tasker still says "Thank you for reserving your free upgrade." Button = "Ok, notify me when ready." I get a completely different error code when I attempt an install from the downloadable install tool.

I've been forcing the update. The entire update downloaded (approx 2GB), prepared to install and then showed this same error. This has happened 3 times now. The Get Windows 10 taskbar app shows no change. Would waiting for the notification to come automatically, be the best option?
