(KB4088776) - Error 0x80092004

I am unable to install KB4088776. I tried installing through Windows Update and manually, downloading and trying to install the update from Microsoft Update Catalog.

I used the update troubleshooter, which detected an issue(One or more Windows Update components are configured incorrectly) and reported it was fixed. However this did not solve the problem, I am still unable to install KB4088776.

Following the advice on https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4088776/windows-10-update-kb4088776

I uninstalled KB4056892 – January 2018, but this did not solve the issue, and now I'm unable to reinstall KB4056892.

I checked and I am now vulnerable to Meltdown as KB4056892 was removed and I can't reinstall.

Windows 10 Pro 10.0.16299 Build 16299.125

I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

There's a lot of turmoil with Windows Updates right now, with problematic Updates being withdrawn and updated while a half billion PC's are being rescanned constantly to sort them all out. So unless it's interfering with performance I'd give it a few weeks to sort itself out.

If it is interfering or you don't want to wait then there is a new guided walk-through from Microsoft for repairing Windows Update that leads up to resetting components if necessary: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10164/.... Try running that first.

You can try installing Updates manually from Microsoft Update catalog by searching for them here: http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search....

If Updates cause problems you can find out which one by checking at Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Installed Update History and uninstall them there.

You can block Windows Updates and Version Updates: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/block-unwanted-wi...

You can also install this tool to tell you exactly your level of protection needed for the CPU threat that has lately caused some disruption, how it may affect performance, and what you can do about it: https://www.grc.com/inspectre.htm

You can get more control over Windows Updates with some new features in the last two versions at Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update under Restart Options and set Active Hours when you don't' want to be bothered.

As a last resort, you can set a Metered Connection or disable Windows Update service and only install the Version Updates twice a year when you are ready via the most stable method - which isn't Windows Update anyway, but by running it from Media Creation Tool or the media it creates: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/m.... All previous Updates are rolled up in the Version Update.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

Hello,
Try resetting Windows updates using an automatic script. See:
http://www.yourwindowsguide.com/2015/12/windows...
Make sure you run the script as an administrator.

Thanks, but all attempts to install KB4088776 have failed. Hopefully Microsoft will get it fixed soon.

I'm quite annoyed because I spent the morning trying to solve this issue instead of working.

I have now done a system restore and will hold off with KB4088776 for now.

If you want to report this to Microsoft use the Feedback Hub app in Start Menu where developers are tasked to process consumer feedback. But Microsoft will not even see it here because this is a tech forums where we are mostly volunteers trying to help solve your problems.

I gave you every option available that are being used by others of Microsoft's half billion Windows 10 users to cope with this until it gets sorted out. Easiest is to just ignore it but if you cannot because it is interfering then all other options are included to try, including to just shut them off for awhile.
