Administrators AWS Posted March 4, 2013 Administrators Posted March 4, 2013 Hello All, After A Hard Disk crash, I have re-installed Windows 7 32 bit Home Premium and let it get on with squillions of updates.All has been going well until an important update arrives. KB958488. I can reliably cause update to fail (it unendingly comes up with code 8024402F) by letting this update be applied. If I use the restore point to place the system before the update - all goes back to being ok. Update says this one single important update needs to be applied - and regardless of the settings in update (i.e. do not download or apply unless I say) - it will go an apply the update unless I specifically log out and then shutdown with the "do not apply update" option.The PC will boot fine and tell me this update needs to be applied. And I am back to square one. Once the error occurs, I have done all the usual things associated with this code - use the "Mr. Fixit" for update, disable firewall etc. As this is a new build, there are no Antivirus or other security programs installed. It is basically a completely clean Windows 7 install with all the windows updates applied prior to this one.... Anyone got any suggestions that do not include Mr. Fixit or turning off the windows firewall?! :o) View this thread
