[SOLVED] Error 0x800f0900 when trying to update Windows

[gunvania]

Hello!

I am getting the error 0x800f0900 on a fairly recent install of Windows 10 when trying to run Windows Update. The update is KB5005033. The full message is:

There were problems downloading some updates, but we’ll try again later. If you keep seeing this, try searching the web or contacting support for help. This error code might help: (0x80242008)

EDIT: I only realized this after writing the post, but it seems I'm getting two errors: 0x80242008 and 0x800f0900

When running sfc /scannow it says that Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

When running DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth I get the following:

Error: 0x800f081f

The source files could not be found.

I have attached the DISM.log file to this post. I'm not really sure what to do next.

Ran SFCFix and found no errors. I'm attaching the CBS folder zip file below.

I solved the issue by upgrading Windows 10 through the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool. I am up to date now.

This all seems to have happened due to me having an outdated build of Windows 10, which is certainly strange since I did the installation fairly recently and used the media creation tool to create the external drive with the installer.
