WHAT CAUSES WINDOWS UPDATE ERROR 0X8024A205?

Any update error is usually caused by corrupted files. It can be either a
corrupted system or an update file. However, the good news is, they can be
resolved. There are various methods to do the same, we are going to talk about
each one of them because if one might not work for you, the other will. Some
other reasons include the possibility of a glitch, that is very easy to get rid
of. On the other hand, it can be due to misconfigured settings or because of
insufficient space. Whatever the case is, this error can be resolved and will be
resolved by following the solutions mentioned hereinafter. So, let us go to the
troubleshooting guide.


FIX WINDOWS UPDATE ERROR 0X8024A205

If you are seeing error 0x8024a205 while using Windows Update, then check out
the solutions mentioned below.

 1. Check if you have enough space
 2. Use Windows Update Troubleshooter
 3. Pause and Run the update
 4. Delete the content of the SoftwareDistribution folder
 5. Run SFC and DISM
 6. Reset Windows Update Components
 7. Run Windows Update in Clean Boot

Let us talk about them in detail.

1] CHECK IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH SPACE

If your C Drive is filled up, then Windows Update won’t get enough space to
download and install its files. And chances are, because of this very reason,
your update is failing. It is recommended to have at least 32 GBs of free space
to proceed with the update. So, you can just delete or move a few files to
another location and retry downloading.

2] USE WINDOWS UPDATE TROUBLESHOOTER



Next up, we need to deploy the Windows Update Troubleshooter, a Windows built-in
utility that will scrutinize and resolve the issue. Follow the given steps to do
the same.

Windows 11

 1. Open Settings from Start.
 2. Navigate to System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters.
 3. Go to Windows Update and click Run.

Windows 10

 1. Hit Win + I to launch Settings.
 2. Go to Update & Security.
 3. Click on Troubleshooter > Other troubleshooters.
 4. Click on Windows Update and select Run the troubleshooter.

Let it run and resolve the issue.



3] PAUSE AND RUN THE UPDATE



As mentioned earlier, this error can be due to a glitch. To get rid of that
glitch, we need to pause and run the update for a bit, then restart it and see
if it works. Open Windows Settings, go to Windows Update (Windows 11) or Update
& Security (Windows 10), click on Pause updates, reboot your system, and Resume
updates. Hopefully, this will do the job for you.

4] DELETE THE CONTENT OF THE SOFTWAREDISTRIBUTION FOLDER

The content of the SoftwareDistribution folder can get corrupted, because of
which the error code 0x8024a205 can get triggered. What you need to do is delete
the folder and see if that works.

First of all, we need to stop some services. Open Command Prompt as an
administrator, to do that, open Run (Win + R), type “cmd”, and hit Ctrl + Shift
+ Esc or from the Start Menu, and execute the following commands.

net stop wuauserv

net stop bits

Then, go to the following location.

C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution

Now, delete all the files of the SoftwareDistribution folder. If any of the
files are in use, reboot your computer, then delete the files.

We need to restart the services using a couple of commands. Execute the
following commands in Elevated Mode Command Prompts.

net start wuauserv

net start bits

Finally, restart the computer and try checking for updates. Hopefully, this
should do the trick.

5] RUN SFC AND DISM



Next up, we need to take care of corrupted system files. We are going to use the
Command Prompt and repair the files. So, open Command Prompt as an administrator
and execute the following commands.

sfc /scannow

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

It will take some time for the commands to get executed. Hopefully, it will do
the trick for you.

6] RESET WINDOWS UPDATE COMPONENTS

If system files are not corrupted, then maybe the update files got corrupted.
You need to reset Windows Update Components and check if the issue persists.

7] TROUBLESHOOT IN CLEAN BOOT

There are a lot of apps that could have interfered with the process. You should
perform Clean Boot and find out what’s causing the issue. Once you know which
app is triggering the problem, just remove it and your issue will be resolved.
