Win 10 update error 0x80070424

Hi guys,

I have a problem with my Windows 10 install, when trying to update I am getting this message:

'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: (0x80070424)'

I have only just noticed this problem and have been getting updates previously. I have tried sfc /scannow and DISM and both passed without detecting an issue.

I hope someone can shed some light on this? Thank you.

Perhaps you've installed some 'security' or 'privacy helper' app that has blocked it via the registry or hosts file.

Thanks for your reply mate, much appreciated.

After spending some time trying various fixes and things I could find online without success I decided to do a non destructive re installation of Windows 10. I have just completed the reinstall and activated it and the Windows update and store updates are now working!

I think you are probably right that it was something that screwed with the registry or something.

Thanks again.
