Hello greg,

Go to C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution and rename the folders DataStore and
Download. Try the update again. You can remove the renamed folders if
everything works.

That is what I got when searched around for error 0x8024001d.

For the benefit of the community reading this post, please rate the pºst.

I hope this post is helpful.

Let us know how it works ºut.
