Ошибка агента обновлений windows 80246010 — Ваш верный помощник с OS Windows

Во время установки одного или нескольких обновлений для Windows 8.1 и 10 можно наткнуться на ошибку 0x80246010. Как правило, данная ошибка возникает по следующим причинам:

баг в работе Центра обновления Windows;
службы, участвующие в процессе обновления системы, не работают;
повреждение системных файлов.

В сегодняшней статье мы во всех подробностях расскажем вам, как избавиться от ошибки 0x80246010 и нормально обновить свою Windows.

Решаем ошибку 0x80246010

Метод №1 Запуск средства устранения неполадок

Первым делом вам необходимо запустить в своей Windows системное средство устранения неполадок Центра обновления. Верно, некоторые из вас могут знать, что данное средство срабатывает не в каждом случае, но попробовать определенно нужно.

Нажмите правой кнопкой мыши на Пуск и выберите пункт «Параметры». Далее откройте раздел «Обновление и безопасность», а затем перейдите в подраздел «Устранение неполадок». Найдите в предоставленном списке Центр обновления Windows, выберите его и нажмите на кнопку «Запустить средство устранения неполадок».

Подождите, пока средство просканирует ваш ПК на наличие неполадок с Центром обновления, а затем нажмите на кнопку «Применить это исправление» либо следуйте другим инструкциям, чтобы попытаться разрешить ошибку 0x80246010.

Метод №2 Установка обновление вручную

Вы всегда можете исключить Центр обновления (WU) из процесса обновления системы, установив проблемный апдейт собственноручно. Для начала вам нужно понять, при установке какого обновления возникает ошибка.

Откройте параметры системы, а затем перейдите в: Обновление и безопасность→Центр обновления Windows. Теперь кликните на строчку «Просмотр журнала обновлений». Внимательно осмотрите журнал и найдите обновление, возле которого «красуется» ошибка 0x80246010.

Копируйте название обновления и его номер куда в удобное место на компьютере, например, в текстовый файл на Рабочем столе, после чего перейдите по этой ссылке на страничку Каталога Центра обновления Майкрософт.

Впишите номер обновления в поисковую строку на сайте и кликните на кнопку «Найти». Выберите подходящий апдейт и списка найденных обновлений и нажмите «Загрузить». Все, что вам остается — это запустить скачанный MSU-файл и следовать инструкциям на экране (если они будут), чтобы установить обновление.

Метод №3 Включение всех важных для WU служб

Бывает и такое, что некоторые службы, активно участвующие в процессе обновления Windows, перестают по той или иной причине работать в системе. Вам нужно подкорректировать настройки этих служб, а затем перезагрузить компьютер.

Нажмите ПКМ на Пуск и выберите «Командная строка (администратор)». Теперь выполните в ней следующий набор команд:

SC config trustedinstaller start=auto
SC config bits start=auto
SC config cryptsvc start=auto

Как только закончите с вводом команд, закройте окошко и перезагрузите компьютер. Попытайтесь еще раз обновить Windows и посмотрите, была ли устранена ошибка 0x80246010.

Метод №4 Сброс компонентов Центра обновления

Если ничего из вышеуказанного вам не помогло, то пора переходить в «тяжелой артиллерии». Сейчас мы займемся с вами сбросом всех компонентов Центра обновления Windows. Некоторые пользователи проводят данный процесс вручную, но рекомендуем воспользоваться удобным BAT-файлом.

Итак, создайте у себя на Рабочем столе обычный текстовый файл, после чего вставьте в него весь список команд:

Several Windows users have been reporting that they are unable to install one (or multiple updates) using Windows Update. The error code that comes up is 0x80246010. The issue doesn’t seem to be exclusive to a certain WIndows version since the same error is encountered on Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows 10.

Windows Update error 0x80246010

What is causing the 0x80246010 Error?

We investigated this particular issue by looking into various user reports and analyzing several fixes that are commonly being used to fix this particular issue. As it turns out, there are several potential causes that might produce this error code. Here’s a shortlist of potential culprits that might trigger the 0x80246010 error:

Windows Update Glitch – Under some circumstances, this particular issue can occur because the updating component is trying to install an update that is not actually compatible with the system at hand. In this case, you should be able to resolve the issue by updating manually or by using the Windows Update troubleshooting utility.
Essential WU services aren’t enabled – It’s also possible that you’re seeing this error code because some services used during this procedure are forcefully disabled. If this scenario is applicable, you should be able to resolve the issue by changing the startup type so that WIndows can call on them when needed.
System file corruption – the WU component is also prone to being affected by System File corruption. In situations such as this one, the only viable fix is to reset the entire suite of WU dependencies in order to eliminate the culprit.

If you’re currently struggling to resolve the same error message and one of the scenarios above is applicable, this article will provide you with several different troubleshooting guides. In the next section, you’ll discover a collection of methods that other users in a similar situation have successfully used to get the issue resolved.

If you still encountered the error code 0x80246010 even when trying to install manually, move down to the next method below.

Method 3: Enabling all essential WU services

Another possible reason that can potentially cause the 0x80246010 error is that one or multiple services essential to the updating process are disabled. Several users finding themselves in a similar situation have managed to resolve the issue by ensuring that all essential services are enabled.

There are two different methods that you can follow in order to ensure that all WU services involved in the updating operating are enabled. Feel free to follow whichever guide you feel more comfortable with.

Enabling services via Command Prompt

This is hands-down the quickest and most effective method of ensuring that all essential services are enabled. Here’s a quick guide on enabling them via an elevated Command Prompt:

Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Next, type “cmd”, then press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open up an elevated Command Prompt. If you’re prompted by the UAC (User Account Prompt), click Yes to grant administrative privileges.
Running Command Prompt as an administrator
Once you’re inside the elevated Command prompt, type the following commands in order and press Enter after each one to set the Startup type of each service to Automatic:
```
SC config trustedinstaller start=auto
SC config bits start=auto
SC config cryptsvc start=auto
```
After all these services have been adjusted successfully, restart your computer and see if the issue has been resolved once the next startup is complete.

Enabling services via GUI

If you’re not comfortable with using the CMD terminal, you can also enable the same services by using the Windows GUI (Services screen). The steps are more tedious that the terminal approach, but the results are exactly the same. Here’s what you need to do:

Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Then, type “services.msc” and press Enter to open up the Services screen.
Running the Services tool
Once you’re inside the Services screen, scroll down through the list of services and locate the Windows Module installer service. Once you see it, double-click on it to open up the Properties screen.

Next, repeat steps 2 and step 3 with Cryptographic Services and Trusted Installer service.
Once all involved services have been enabled, restart your computer and see if the issue has been resolved.

If this method didn’t allow you to resolve the issue, move down to the next method below.

Method 4: Reset all Windows Update components

If none of the methods above have allowed you to resolve the issue, chances are you’re dealing with a persisting bug having to do with the Windows 10 update components. t’s possible that one or more WU (Windows Update) components have become stuck in a limbo state. If this scenario is applicable, you will be able to fix the problem by resetting all WU components that are involved in the updating process.

Here are two different methods that you can follow in order to reset all Windows Update components:

Resetting WU via the WU Agent

Visit this Microsoft Technet page (here) and download the Reset Windows Update Agent script.

Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

Download Windows Update Reset Agent
Once the download is complete, extract the zip archive with a utility like WinRar, WinZip or 7Zip.
Double-click on the ResetWUENG.exe file and then follow the instructions to run the script on your computer. Immediately after you do so, it will reset all your WU components.
When the process is complete, restart your computer and see if you’re able to install the failing update once the next startup sequence is complete.

Resetting WU via elevated CMD

Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Then, type “cmd” and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open up an elevated Command Prompt. When you see the UAC (User Account Control) prompt, click Yes to grant administrative privileges.
Running Command Prompt as an administrator
Inside the elevated Command Prompt, type the following commands in order and press Enter after each one to stop all WU related services:
```
net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
```
Note: These commands will stop the Windows Update Services, MSI Installer, Cryptographic services, and BITS services.
Once all services have been stopped, run the following commands to clear and rename SoftwareDistribution and Catroot2 folders:
```
ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old 
ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old
```
Note: These folders are responsible for holding update files use by the WU component.
Now that the folders have been cleared, run the following commands to re-enable the services that we’re previously disabled:
```
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver
```
Restart your computer once again and see if the issue has been resolved.
