Hello all:
Recently I had quite the go at the PC in my specs description. I'm getting ready to sell it, and the customer wanted 8.1 installed. I've managed to get it installed, and bypassed the activation errors I was getting by using the phone activation process, however, I am unable to update Windows.
I ran he MS troubleshooter for Windows Updates, and it said that it fixed the issues, but as we all know, those FixIt's rarely work. I get Error 8024402F, and I've not found any way around it.
Troubleshooting so far:
1) Disabled Windows Firewall
2) Attempted to rename the SoftwareDistribution folder, no luck. Even after stopping BITS and Wuausrv it still says access denied.
3) Ran the FixIt from MS, no luck
4) Synced with time.nist.gov for up to date time sync
5) Did a clean boot, just in case, and still have the same issue.
As always, my system specs are listed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
