HELP! Windows Update Error: 8024402F

I need help! I get the error 802440F everytime I search for update. I was about 10 hours trying to fix the problem! I tried everything i found in the internet but nothing. I'm really pissed off . I will not be able to upgrade to Windows 10 if I still have the error.

I have Windows 8.1

 

Just download it from here. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

 

will i lose all my saved stuff if i download from there?

 

No, you can choose to upgrade and it will keep all of your stuff as well as carry over your product key.

 

oh sick ill do that now because my notification hasnt come yet

 

Ok i will try it :/

 

This worked for me had to run the CMP a few times before it went through i'm at 20% right now.

It's online.

• Delete everything out of C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
  
• In Windows Updates, Click to search for updates, leave the window open but DONT HIT SEARCH yet
  
• Right Click on the Start icon or Winkey+X, open command prompt as Admin and type "wuauclt.exe /updatenow" but DONT HIT ENTER
  
• In Windows Update, Click "search for updates"
  
• While it is searching hit enter on the command prompt
  
• You're now downloading W10

EDIT: Try the direct installer instead if you're having issues installing or getting error codes after downloading.

You might have to refresh the page a couple times if it's getting overloaded with traffic.

 

I received the same error when trying to update to windows 10 manually. However this expert was able to identify the problems and helped me sort them out https://www.fiverr.com/umairhp/provide-quick-solutions-for-all-your-computer-problems
