Hello!

Please help!

I have been trying to update my current Windows 10 Home, but it keeps returning this error code.  It is a recommended update because new security updates cannot be installed until I do it. Have followed advice on the Microsoft Support website, but it keeps failing to update. What do I need to do?

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows update

    Hi,

    The error 0x8007007E usually appears when software and drivers are not compatible with the update you're tying to install. To resolve the error, please perform the following:

    1. Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter.
    2. Perform a clean boot before installing Windows Updates.

    For more information about the ways to install Windows 10 upgrades and update, please check this thread.

    Please post back with the result for further assistance.

    Darwin, why the private messages? Why not just share any resolution info with the community, clearly there are several with the same issue all searching for similar posts in hopes of any resolution that actually works. You keep asking for someone to reply to a private message it makes me think you have something to hide. Anything you do not want the public to know about these Windows 10 Update issues?

    Please share resolution options beyond those scripted responses to date. From what I have read on this post, all are experiencing the same issue in the same version without success trying the options presented so far. How about an actual fix...haven't been able to get past this for a couple of months now!

    Hi Guys Even Microsoft Team Doesn't Have Resolution For it ,i have Gone Through all Level 1,2 and High Level -3 Microsoft Technical Support Teams(Even Though They  Tried hard to resolve it )  ,No One Has Solution For it. Don't Waste your time seeking help for this error . The only Solution For this is Custom Installation i.e you need to reinstall windows in which you will be losing all the apps and some data in Drive C .Take your decision Before Proceeding to it .the High Level -3 Technical Member did it for me smoothly ( i have take risk )  .Now Its working fine for me . Hope Microsoft Team  Finds a solution for it Before It affects Many Customers .  Hope This Message Helps for someone who is getting troubled with Updates
