How to fix 0x8007001f on windows 10?

Question

When I try to upgrade Windows 10, it gets to 85% and then fails with error code 0x8007001f. How do I get passed it?

Answer 1

Open the Settings app using Win & I hotkey.

Select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot. Next, under Get up and running, select Windows Update > Run the troubleshooter.

Log in as Administrator,

Open Command Prompt.

net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver

Navigate to the C:/Windows/SoftwareDistribution folder, and rename this to softwareDistribution.old.
Next, browse to the C:/Windows/System32/Catroot2 Folder, and rename this to catroot2.old.
After you rename both these folders, restart the services that you have stopped earlier.

net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver

Restart Windows to confirm the recent changes.

Answer 4

Hello,

Usually the error code 0x8007001F occurs when the device has stopped responding or when a general failure has occurred. I recommend you to disconnect external devices and perform clean boot. Then try the upgrade, it should work.

Good luck!
