Since the Windows update error can be due to a range of causes, there are also various solutions available. However, the general problem is that you don’t receive any information whatsoever from Windows about where you should look for the error. So, you have no choice other than to work through the list of possible causes, one after another to fix the 0x8024200d error.
Before you get started, you should at least try to resolve the issue by restarting the computer: The probability is very low, but there’s still a chance that the problematic update will run afterwards – for instance, because the download server simply couldn’t be reached before or because Windows itself wasn’t working properly.
If the Windows update continues to display the error code “0x8024200d” after you reboot the computer, you’ll need to look for the cause of the problem yourself. The solutions presented below have proven to be helpful.
