    Hello,

    Thank you for using Microsoft products and posting to the community.

    0x80004002 means that the interface does not exist. In Windows Update, it is usually caused by corruptions of registry files used by one of Windows update's components.

    Please try running the automatic Windows update troubleshooter first, since such corruptions are usually fixable by it.

    To do so, right-click Start->System->Troubleshoot->Other troubleshooters->Windows update. If it succeeds, reboot your computer and check for updates again. If it fails, please expand the failed items and provide a screenshot, so we can better understand your current situation.

    Please feel free to let me know how it goes.

    Best Regards,
