Hi gothyjan,

Something you could try is:

• In your search box type Services then press Enter key
• Scroll down to Background Intelligent Transfer Service
• Right-click on this Service and select Start
• Now try updating

With trying just for s**** and giggles what you suggested here, all options aside from properties are greyed out..running as Admin.or otherwise.
Ideas as to why?

 

[gothyjan]

thanks tried it, no luck see if anything comes up later.gothy.

 

[gothyjan]

quick look on the net and some say a reg clean is needed.thought that they could do more damage by using them.never had to on any pc any thoughts.gothy.

The error message you are getting doesn't really suggest a Registry issue in my view.

If there was a corruption in your Registry that could upset things, but nothing immediately comes to mind.

If anything, there may be an update you require first before attempting the Anniversary update.

Have you checked your previous updates to make sure all of them installed successfully? If one has not, that may be triggering this event.

That or the server is overloaded and while you are receiving the update a stall on Server end is corrupting part of a file. That was why I thought it may be worth enabling BITS as that service works around idle servers to halt the download until the server is active again.

all previous updates installed ok,tried again and still the same downloads to100%then starts to install stops and error message comes up.even tried update trouble shooter still no luck,may try turning of Norton antivirusand see if that helps.gothy

 

[gothyjan]

just had a look and Norton was saying high disk usage on windows server,is that the problem.gothy.

 

[Regedit32]

It would be wise to disable both Norton's Smart fire-wall, and Auto-Detect modes permanently as this update is a fairly significant one and involves a major install. Once you are fully installed successfully, you can then re-enable Nortons' firewall and auto-protect modes.

Given Edge will now be getting some extensions it will be interesting to see whether Norton is able to add its protection modes to the Edge browser.

 

[gothyjan]

no luck still the same thing.may try going back to a restore point to see if that helps,but the only thing that I have down loaded in the past week is some Norton down loads .I did do a full system scan but that came back as no problems found.gothy

I have a laptop Samsung and a Tower Acer with the same programs installed onto. The Anniversary got well on the Laptop but I get an error on my Tower : Windows 10, version 1607 - Erreur 0x80240031

Here is the SFC /scannow log : https://mon-partage.fr/f/gcbwFyIj/

 

[bjscott13]

same issue on my tower - Feature update to Windows 10, version 1607 - Error 0x80240031 :-(
But it keeps trying :-(

 

[gothyjan]

so I am not alone,at least 2 others have the same problem as me,might just leave it for a day or two and see if its a windows 10 fault,or they just blame poor old us as is the norm.gothy

I got same Error 0x80240031. I just run (WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.diagcab) this troubleshooting file. And get an issue that not fixed. "Service registration is missing or corrupt", My previous version 1511 (OS build 10586.494)

Welcome to the forum Shifat,

In you case the error screenshots hint at an issue with the Windows Update service.

You could try the following to see if things improve:

• Right-click on Start then left-click on Run
• In the run dialog type services.msc then click OK
• When the Services window opens scroll down the the following three Services:
  • Background Intelligent Transfer Service
  • Cryptographic Services
  • Windows Update
    
    On each of the above three services, double-left click to open.
    
    A smaller window will pop up. In the middle of these windows you'll see Startup type: with a drop arrow menu to the right
    
    In all three Services click the drop arrow and choose automatic then click OK
    

With any luck that may resolve your issue and allow the Windows Update Service to complete its tasks.

Ok I made it !

After the SFC /scannow , I went on trying installing Redstone from the Windows Update, from the Windows Media installation and from the Support Software installation from Microsoft. After several tries (about 8 to 10) it finally worked !

Now do not ask me why ....

This is just the way Microsoft works .... bug bug bug and bug then suddenly it works

Thanks.
The troubleshoot problem is solved. But the error isn't gone. It could be the problem for windows 10 Professional, Enterprise, and Education edition customers. I'm not sure.

 

[gothyjan]

had a quick look at windows error codes and for error code 0x80240031 witch is in the windows update section, it says invalid file the file is in the wrong format,how do you find out what file and how to fix it.gothy

 

[Shifat Rahman Minar]

When I reregister the BITS files and the Windows Update files, some(15+) of dll files are showing not found or failed to load. It might be the problem for me to update.. What's the solution?
