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: (0x80240439).

I have tried many ways to fix error 0x80240439. However, this error cannot be fixed. The methods I have tried are as follows:

1. Stop/Start update service by Command line

net stop wuauserv
net stop appidsvc
net stop cryptsvc

net start wuauserv
net start appidsvc
net start cryptsvc

2. Clear files & folder on folder C:\Windows\Software Distribution

3. Restart Windows Update service on services.msc

4. Using DISM on Command line

dism /online /cleanup-image /ScanHealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /CheckHealth

If you have tried the methods or 1 of the above and cannot fix the error 0x80240439. I advise you not to try and waste time to fix this error anymore. Because there are many reasons causing above error. The most common ones include corrupted Windows files, incomplete installation of a Windows Update, and a broken Windows Update.

If you are someone who wants perfection (like me). I recommend that you re-install Windows 10 to the latest version to completely fix the above error. I believe, you have tried to fix the error but this is a system error or a file loss in the system. You can hardly fix it completely.
