Описание ошибки
При попытке установить некоторые обновления Windows (к примеру KB4519108, KB4516065, KB4535102), можно наткнутся на ошибку, со следующим текстом:
Код 80092004: Произошла неизвестная ошибка Windows Update.
Исправление ошибки 80092004
Установка обновлений Windows 7
Одной из самых частых причин, которые могут привести к появлению данной ошибки — это отсутствие необходимых обновлений Windows 7. Для исправления ошибки нужно скачать и установить обновления KB4474419 и KB4490628. Скачать эти обновления можно по ссылкам ниже, где нужно выбрать нужную версию системы и нажать кнопку «Загрузить», после чего, в появившемся окне кликнуть на длинную ссылку для загрузки:
Для скачивания не рекомендуется использовать браузер Internet Explorer — в противном случае, возможны проблемы с загрузкой обновлений с данного сайта.
Скачать KB4474419
- Скачать KB4474419 из каталога Центра обновлений Windows (для 32 и 64 бит)
- Скачать KB4474419 через торрент (для 32 и 64 бит) (как скачать?)
Скачать KB4490628
- Скачать KB4490628 из каталога Центра обновлений Windows (для 32 и 64 бит)
- Скачать KB4490628 через торрент (для 32 и 64 бит) (как скачать?)
После установки данных обновлений потребуется перезагрузка, после чего можно попробовать повторно установить проблемные обновления Windows, которые до этого выдавали ошибку 80092004.
Вирусное заражение
Одной из возможных причин — это заражение системы вирусами или другим вредоносным программным обеспечением, которое может повредить работу системы, в том числе и работу Центра обновлений Windows. Для исключения подобного варианта, стоит проверить свой компьютер на вирусы — даже в том случае, если у Вас уже установлен антивирус. Для этой есть специальные антивирусные сканеры, например Dr.Web CureIt! или Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool — про их использование, можно прочитать в этой статье.

Windows Update errors are uncommon and usually point toward an issue at the user’s end. But there have been cases when the update itself was buggy and, subsequently, the problem was widespread. One such is the 80092004 update error.
When unable to install updates, the situation becomes problematic, given users miss out on the latest features and security patches.
But our experts did manage to identify the problem and came up with solutions that helped others. Keep reading to find out!
What is error code 8009204 Windows Update?
The code 80092004 indicates that the PC couldn’t find the correct cryptographic values in the update and, as a result, rejected it. This is because Microsoft stopped signing packages with SHA-1 and only uses SHA-2 ever since August’19. And if Windows looks for the former, the error code appears.
Here are a few reasons you might encounter the error:
- Problems with the update: In a few cases, the problem appeared only while installing specific updates for all users, which points to a bug in the update itself. So, you should verify whether others, too, are facing the problem.
- Corrupt system files: Even corrupt system files are likely to affect the update process and may trigger the 80092004 error in Windows 10.
- Issues with the update components: Windows Update Components are critical for installing updates, and misconfiguration here can lead to a range of errors.
How do I fix error code 80092004?
Before we head to the tricky fixes, here are a few quick ones:
- Restart the computer and retry the update.
- Disable the built-in Windows Security or any third-party antivirus installed on the PC. If that works, uninstall the program to fix things for good.
- Make sure you have fast Internet speed.
If none work, move to the solutions listed next.
1. Run the built-in troubleshooters
- Press Windows + I to open Settings, and click on Troubleshoot on the right in the System tab.
- Click on Other troubleshooters.
- Click on Run next to Windows Update.
- Wait for the troubleshooter to run and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
- Similarly, run the Network Adapter and Internet Connections troubleshooter.
The quickest way to fix the 80092004 update error in Windows is to run the built-in troubleshooters. These built-in utilities automatically identify and resolve the underlying cause, requiring minimal effort from the user.
However, you have more effective methods to troubleshoot your PC, and that is with dedicated system repair software that can fix faulty files in minutes.
2. Run the DISM and SFC scan
- Press Windows + R to open Run, type cmd, and hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter.

- Once done, restart the computer for the changes to come into effect and retry updates.
Corrupt system files are another reason for the problem, and running the DISM tool and SFC scan should get things up and running.

3] Run SFC and DISM Scans to fix Error 0x80092004
If the error 0x80092004 is still occurring, this must be due to the presence of some corrupt files or folders on Windows 10. SFC and DISM are two great tools that you may try to find and resolve internal corruption on your computer.

- After successfully running the DISM and SFC Scans on Windows, close CMD, and restart your PC.
From the next login, check if you can update Windows normally without getting into an error code 0x80092004.
4] Remove the recently installed updates
If you have recently upgraded Windows 10 and this error 0x80092004 starts occurring afterward, you must have installed a buggy update. In such an event, you should remove the recently installed updates from your system and then purge the residual or leftover files using the Disk Cleanup tool.

- First of all, press Windows + I to launch Settings and navigate to the below path –
Update & Security > Windows Update > View update history

Dism /online /Get-Packages
- The DISM will now display a list of recently installed updates on your computer.
- Note down the name of the package that has been recently installed.
- Next, execute the following code to remove that particular package from your system.
- For this, you may take the help of the following codes. Make sure to press the Enter key after each command.
Note: Ensure changing the package name in the below command. Else, you will end up deleting some old updates.

5] Purge the Software Distribution Folder
The Software Distribution folder is an important folder in Windows 10 that accumulates all the information related to updates that ever occurred on your computer. As time passes by, there is no need of having the old data or entries.
However, the information remains as it is unless you delete them manually. The problem here is that you don’t know which files to remove exactly and so you might end up deleting some important entries. There’s a solution by which you may purge the SoftwareDistribution folder without affecting the normal update process in Windows 10. Here’s how –
- Press Win + S together and type CMD in the text field.
- Right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
- When the UAC window prompts on the display screen, click on the Yes button.
- Stop the Windows update services that might prevent deleting files inside the SoftwareDistribution folder. For this, you need to execute these two commands on the elevated console –
net stop wuauserv
net stop bits
net stop cryptsvc
- Doing so will stop the Windows Update, Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS), and Cryptographic services.
- Next, navigate to the path C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution inside File Explorer.
- After you reach out to the above path, use Ctrl + A to select all items and then press the delete button.
- Next, head over to this path – C:\Windows\System32\Catroot2. Delete all the files and folders that are available inside this folder as well.
- After you delete all the files successfully, re-open the Command Prompt, and run the following codes on it –
net start wuauserv
net start bits
net start cryptsvc
- Close the Command Prompt and restart your computer so that the recent changes come into effect.
From the subsequent login, check if you can update Windows normally.
