Windows Update Not working Error code 0x80240036

Question

Windows Update is not working.

I am getting the following error message.

There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x80240036)

I am running Windows Preview.

The build I am on is Windows 10 Enterprise Build 18990.vb_release.190921-1704.

Answer 1

First, 18990.1000 is the latest build.

Second, You should not be in an Enterprise build unless you are working in an Enterprise.

Third, This is not the Insider forum where Preview builds are discussed and questions asked.

Answer 2

Hi Adrian,

I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 2-Year Windows Insider MVP here to help.

Windows 10 18990 is the most recent build available. This might be a server-side problem. I advise you to wait until the next build and check.

Answer 3

1. I also have the same preview build running on 2 other computers that don't get this message.
2. I am working in an enterprise.
3. Can you point me in the right direction for the Preview Builds discussions.

Thank you.

Answer 4

At the top when you see categories.  Under that is the Windows Insider program.  That is where the previews are discussed and questioned.
