My Windows Update throws an error. It says:

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 - (0x80070057).

Retrying doesn't help and searching the web doesn't help me find a solution.

In the feedback app there are at least 15 reports of the same error, so this is a (rare) 9926 problem.

Anyone had the same issue and found a solution?

I'm facing this issue too... No solution found yet

Run -> gpedit.msc -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update -> Configure Automatic Updates -> Not Configured

This happens whenever Windows update settings aren't pointing toward MS servers, such when a pc is domain joined, in which case the gpedit settings will not fix it (as they will be overwritten by group policy). Have reported this to Ms last Friday.

For domain joined pc's that have a GPO with WU settings either disable the GPO or unjoin from the domain.

Nope. That ain't happening.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX]
"IsConvergedUpdateStackEnabled"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings]
"UxOption"=dword:00000000

Back to normal, using corporate WSUS server.

"UxOption"=dword:00000000[/code]Back to normal, using corporate WSUS server.

Thanks ! This regedit even brings back the option to check with Microsoft servers which would be a necessity since my WSUS server doesn't have any updates for Windows 10.

I simply created an OU put the computer in there and blocked GPO processing at the OU, this is a much better solution.

Of course this begs the question what the purpose of IsConvergedUpdateStackEnabled exactly is. Surely the option to check both WSUS and MS isn't going to be taken out.

The "Converged Update Stack" has something to do with regular updates and new builds being offered thru the same Windows Update which would necessitate doing it thru Microsoft. Hopefully by the time of RTM everything will be back to normal.

Your WSUS admin has the ability to import and publish the Windows 10 updates from the catalog.

Yeah I know, I am the WSUS admin :) Not going to be bothered getting updates for a preview onto my box.

The regedit worked. It's actually really easy. Just sent those two to "0". My issue was that I was a part of the domain. This is a great work around. Thanks for posting.

Run -> gpedit.msc -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update -> Configure Automatic Updates -> Not Configured

this is so much simpler than going to the registry, just click and click away, Right On!

*update, after successfully updating the current build I checked Windows Update again and got another Error Code. This time it was: 0x80246017, but it won't throw that code again after hitting the retry

[Abubakar Shaibu]

I have same issues but no solution yet. Hope the next build will solve this issue though am still searching for solution

[kenguilmette]

Worked great for me...nice and easy.

Since trying to get the tool working, I've let my laptop try to upgrade to Win 10 at least 22 times (60GB of downloads) in the last 4 days always ending with the error message in attachment #1 (Code 80070005).Image

Then I ran the Microsoft Diagnostic App (WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.diagcab) and the first pass resulted in attachment #2 - With 2 problems found:
1. Service Registration is missing or corrupt, and,
2. Windows Update error 0x80070057(2015-08-03-T-02_03_54A)

Image
After several more update failures, I re-ran the Microsoft Diagnostic App with the results shown in attachment #3 - only 1 problem found now -
1. Windows Update error 0x80070057(2015-08-03-T-02_03_54A)
Image
I next ran a full checkdisk during booting, and no errors were found.

I ran SFC /scannow and found nothing.

And after all I visited a blog How To Fix windows 10 update 0x80070057 error code?

This contains a perfect tutorial that solved my issues easily.

The solution in above blog does start the installation process but then error again showed up at 2% mark. Then I came a very simple solution on internet, simply disable internet after verification process of downloaded files, just when the installation starts. After that process went on smoothly and my computer is now on anniversary update.

This worked for me!

So do you just disconnect from your wifi or do you disable it while it's installing???

[pederpansen]

Oh my, after countless hours and trying out a number of Microsoft fixit tools, disabling the internet connection finally did the trick. Thank you so much!

[f1saurabh]

Just turn off wifi or ethernet (whatever you are using to access internet) after files have been downloaded and just when installation begins. No need to disable from device manager or anything.

[Tamoor Arshad]

I turned off wifi, turned off Ethernet, hooked up with Ethernet only, and then with wifi only but I still see error 0x80070057

[Tamoor Arshad]

I was able to resolve the issue by doing the following from https://appuals.com/windows-update-error-0x80070057/

Right Click either your Wireless LAN Adapter or Ethernet LAN Adapter and choose Disable. Once the update has finished verifying, you can enable it by right clicking the disabled adapter.

Anybody know what to do if you get this on your phone?

Same here.

[Anurag Rekhde]

Same here.

I have the 0x80070057 error but on windows phone. Reset hard or soft does nothing. I am stuck on some old build 14946. I am fast ring insider and I lumia 1520. Need a solution for Windows mobile

[Alain_A]

Wouldn't it be the exact same thing disabling wifi and or data connection or both? On a phone.

No, because its not even downloading, so cutting the connection is just adding to the problem.
