Windows Update Error (0x80070006)

cornbread342 · Feb 4, 2020

Hello Sysnative forum, I have an error when I try updating Windows:

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: (0x80070006)

I previously had a different error, but fixed that one. Once I did that, this error arose. My current version is 1803. I also have been infected recently by a virus, which I haven't fully recovered from but have a good amount. The next step I had to do was to run a series of updates, which I couldn't do, and was sent here from the Malwarebytes forum.

Thanks for the help!

Was the system checked by a Malware Removal Expert?

Sorry for the late reply, but yes it has, in this thread: Virus prevents any installation of virus removal or Windows defender

Sysnative Windows Update · Mar 18, 2020

Upgrade to version 1909 using Media Creation Tool.
