How to fix Error Code 0x8024a10a?

There are a few reasons that you might see the 0x8024a10a error code when trying to update Windows. The most common reason is that the Windows Update Services is not running. Other reasons can include a corrupt update file, or a problem with the Windows Update Agent.

If you see this error code, the first thing you should do is check to make sure that the Windows Update Services is running. To do this, open the Services MMC snap-in (services.msc) and make sure that the status of the Windows Update service is set to Started. If it is not started, start it and then try to update Windows again.

If the Windows Update Services is running, but you're still seeing the 0x8024a10a error code, the next thing to do is to try and run the Windows Update Troubleshooter. This is a utility that can help to fix some common problems with Windows Update. To run it, go to Control Panel > Troubleshooting > View All. Then, under System and Security, click on Fix problems with Windows Update.

If neither of those solutions work, the next thing to try is to manually download and install the updates that you're seeing errors for. To do this, go to the Microsoft Update Catalog website and search for the updates that you need. Then, download and install them manually.
