Feature update to Windows 10, version 1709 - Error 0x80248007

Hi Carolyn,

Error 0x80248007 occurs when some files in the Windows Update are missing, or when the Microsoft Software License Terms cannot be located by Windows Update. For us to troubleshoot this error, we suggest that you run the Windows Update troubleshooter. After running the troubleshooter, try to run Windows Update again and install available updates.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the reply Janeane, prior to your message, I had used the W-update troubleshooter, and 3 times since with reboots in between and upgrade failures to match. Install got to 43% one time, 33% the rest as before. I now have 3 new error codes to share :(

0x80070652; 0x80246010; 0x80070020

Waiting to hear how to stop this loop, using up 3 days, lots of data and still no success.

Carolyn

FYI: followed through with your directions to Terry on this issue. i.e.;

DISM.exe scan which was 100% successful and the

sfc /scannow which did not fine any integrity violations

...next??

I have this same error message (0x80248007) and have done the troubleshooter thing without any change.

The next step is to download the latest SSU, KB4090914 which does not apply to my OS (1607 build 14393.2125).

What do I do now?

Hello,

Thank you for posting your concern. To resolve your concern, we need to reset Windows Update components or perform an in place installation. Please follow the steps below:

Download and run Windows Update Troubleshooter

Install Windows Update again and see if it all good.

If not, perform SFC and DISM to scan and fix corrupted system files:

1. Type Command Prompt on Search bar. On the result, right-click on Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator. (Click Yes on the UAC prompt.)
2. On Command Prompt, type command sfc /scannow and hit Enter. Once done, type another command DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth. (It will fail if your Windows Update client is already broken, in that case, you need the installation disc or media creation tool.)
3. After that, install Windows Update one more time.

Reset Windows Update Components

Type Command Prompt on Search bar. On the result, right-click on Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator. (Click Yes on the UAC prompt.)

If the same issue persists, you can perform an in place installation. Follow these steps:

1. Go to this link where you can download Windows 10 media creation tool.
2. Choose Download tool now and choose Run. You need to be an administrator to run this tool.
3. Select Accept.
4. On the What do you want to do? page, select Upgrade this PC now, and then select Next.
5. When Windows 10 is ready to install, you’ll see a recap of what you’ve chosen, and what will be kept through the upgrade. Select Change what to keep to set whether you would like to Keep personal files and apps, or Keep personal files only, or choose to keep Nothing during the upgrade.
6. Save and close any open apps and files you may be running, and when you’re ready, select Install.
7. It might take some time to install Windows 10, and your PC will restart a few times. Make sure you don’t turn off your PC.

Let us know if this resolves your concern.
