After update files have finished downloading and are in the process of installing, you many users have gotten an error 0x8024200D. What does that mean? In this article, we will tell you what error 0x8024200D means and how you can get rid of it and continue with your Windows update installation. Windows error code 0x8024200d isn’t new to the Windows 10 Anniversary Update as it has been around for a while. It simply indicates that there is a problem with the download and that its files are corrupted or missing. The reason you would be having corrupt or missing files on your update is that it is quite common that downloading files over the internet may deliver corrupt files. The file download can be dropped halfway or even not get downloaded at all because of a bad instruction sent back to the servers indicating that the file was successfully downloaded already. If the sent file cannot be decoded and encoded properly, then it is bound to be corrupt or even discarded by the system, therefore will be missing from the update files. This means you cannot continue with the installation till the corrupt or missing files have been replaced. Here are the methods that can get you back on track.
Method 1: Run SFC (System File Check) scan
Running the system file check application will find all the missing or corrupt files and replace them. We are going to use the elevated or administrator mode command line tool to run this scan.
Windows Resource Protection will find corrupt files and successfully repaired them. You can retry installing your update after this.
Method 2: Delete the current downloaded update and Download the Windows update files again
Since the downloaded files are the ones that are corrupt, or you don’t know what is missing exactly, re-downloading the update will give you all files and replace the corrupt ones. You may need to boot in safe mode for the first step (deleting current corrupt download).
Windows will start downloading your files again, and this, they might be a clean update.
