Windows Updates Error 0x8024401c

Post by Theet »

In case Windows couldn't update because off problems with the WSUS server you can make the following change (temporary) into regedit:

1) Press Windows Logo key + R to open a Run. Type regedit into the Run dialog and press Enter to launch the Registry Editor.
2) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Policies > Microsoft > Windows > WindowsUpdate
3) In the left pane of the Registry Editor, click on AU under WindowsUpdate to have its contents displayed in the right pane.
4) In the right pane of the Registry Editor, locate and double click on the registry value titled UseWUServer to modify it.
5) Replace whatever is in the registry value’s Value data field with 0 and click on OK.
