Can fix Error 0x80240439 Windows Update on Windows 10?

On Windows Update

 

This article is for users who are really looking forward to fixing Windows Update error 0x80240439 on Windows 10. Specifically, the error is as follows:

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
dism /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

5. Using SFC on Command line

sfc /scannow
chkdsk /f C:

6. Run Windows Update Troubleshooter

7. Update latest version Windows by Media Creation Tool
(I updated from Windows 10 PRO version 20H2 to 21H2)

 

8. Reset proxy (updated 08 March 2022)

I have had success with this method on customer computer. Try resetting the proxy server settings by following the steps below: 

Step 1: Open Command Prompt (by run as Administrator)

Step 2: Type command and hit Enter: netsh winhttp reset proxy

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.

Fixed "Feeds" was taking more than 30 GB of RAM

On Windows 10

 

The problem has been reported by many, but not all users. This issue is: Feeds/ Search application using all of the RAM in Task Manager on Windows 10.  

 

➤ What is the Feeds in task manager

 

Specifically, the computer runs very slowly compared to normal. And when opened Task Manager to see that System, Feeds (Search application) is using CPU and Disk quite heavily and as much ram that it can to pin it to 97- 100%.

 

Currently, Microsoft has not found the cause or specific solution to fix the above error. A lot of users have wondered and asked for a fix (it happens a lot on Lenovo, Dell, strong configuration as well as normal machine configuration). 

Temporarily, we have a few measures below that will help you fix the above error: 

 

Step 1: Open Task Manager > Disable/End task to Feeds/ Search application.

 

Step 2: Turn off News and Interests on taskbar.

➤  How to customize News and Interest

“Your Microsoft Exchange administrator has blocked the version of Outlook that you are using. Contact your administrator for assistance.”

“Your Microsoft Exchange administrator has blocked the version of Outlook that you are using. Contact your administrator for assistance.”

On Windows 8

Hi Everyone,

Users will see the following error message in Outlook: 

“Your Microsoft Exchange administrator has blocked the version of Outlook that you are using. Contact your administrator for assistance.” 

 

➤ Download & Install Microsoft 365 Apps by Office Deployment Tool

 

Outlook will now be disabled or trying to connect. You CAN NOT send and receive any email.

The reason is that you are using Microsoft 365 (email service) on Office (Outlook) 2007, 2010, 2013. Detail as below:

"After November 1, 2021, only Outlook 2013 Service Pack 1 (with latest fixes) and later will be able to connect to Microsoft 365 services. It’s worth noting here that Outlook 2007, 2010, and Office 2013 versions earlier than 15.0.4971.1000 *and Office 2016 versions earlier than 16.0.4600.1000 aren’t supported"

If you are using Office 2007, 2010 please note the following times, your Outlook will not be able to connect to Mail Exchange (Microsoft 365):

• The block will start rolling out on November 1st 2021 for users on Outlook 2007 and will proceed in a phased rollout. 
• The block has started rolling out for Outlook 2010 users on January 11, 2022 and will proceed in a phased rollout.

Outlook users will see the following error message in Outlook, when they experience the block that we are rolling out: “Your Microsoft Exchange administrator has blocked the version of Outlook that you are using. Contact your administrator for assistance.”

Why are we blocking old versions? 

Older versions of Outlook, such as Outlook 2007 and 2010 are incompatible with the following upcoming service changes, which is prompting this controlled block: 

1. Support for basic authentication is ending to increase the security of Microsoft 365 by relying on modern authentication protocols, which are not only more secure, but also provide compliance and policy controls to help you manage your data. 
2. We’re working on adding support for HTTP/2 in Microsoft 365. HTTP/2 is a full duplex protocol, which decreases latency through header compression and request multiplexing. On the service side, we’ll be able to better prioritize requests and more effectively push data to clients. 
3. It can be a challenge to stay current, but there are many reasons why staying current is a good idea: 
4. Security fixes will protect your devices against known vulnerabilities. 
5. Reliability – over the last five years we’ve eliminated 75% of crashes in Outlook! 
6. Updated versions have all the coolest new features to make your life easier!

 

Solution

Users can immediately start using Outlook on the web through a browser on their Windows (or any other) device. This is temporary solution.

I recommend switching to Office 365 or higher versions of Office like Office 2019 or Office 2021. 

➤ Download & Install Microsoft 365 Apps by Office Deployment Tool

➤ How to download & install Office Standard 2019

 

Outlook on the web

Upgrade guidance

• For Office 2007 and 2010, use the roadmaps listed below to move to Microsoft 365 Apps. If your organization is highly regulated or uses devices that can’t take updates, consider Office 2019
• For Office 2013, move to Version 15.0.4971.1000 of Office 2013 (Service Pack 1 with the October 2017 Update)  
• For Office 2016, move to Version 16.0.4600.1000 of Office 2016 (With the November 2017 Update, KB4051890)
• Office 2007 end of support roadmap 
• Office 2010 end of support roadmap

Conclusion

Above is all information related to this error. If you or your company are using Microsoft 365 services on Office software versions 2013, 2010, 2007, please pay attention.

Updates break L2TP connections: After installing this update, IP Security (IPSEC) connections that contain a Vendor ID might fail. VPN connections using Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) or IP security Internet Key Exchange (IPSEC IKE) might also be affected.

When attempting to connect to a VPN device, they are shown an error stating:

The bug is not affecting all VPN devices and seems only to be affecting users using the built-in Windows VPN client to make the connection.

To mitigate the issue for some VPNs, you can disable Vendor ID within the server-side settings. Note Not all VPN servers have the option to disable Vendor ID from being used. We are presently investigating and will provide an update in an upcoming release.

The installation starts, and after a couple restarts, it says:

"Attempting to recover installation"
"Undoing changes made to your computer"
"We couldn't install Windows 11"

I have consulted many articles of authors on the internet to fix this error. However, there is no one method that is really 100% effective. But in this article, I will introduce you to the 3 most effective methods for you to try to fix this error.

Method 1: This should be called a series of methods (common on forums) for you to try your luck. Please try to follow the 5 steps below:

Step 1: Check the capacity of the hard drive (especially the system drive - C drive). Please upgrade and expand the hard drive if it is not eligible for the update

All the above 6 steps, I will not guide you in detail. Please refer to my articles on this website or internet.

Method 2: Applied for ASUS laptop, device

In case your computer (ASUS model) cannot upgrade or install to Windows 11. Please do the following: 

You must prevent Windows Update from automatically reinstalling the above driver, or else you will get the 0xc1900101 code again. Please see do as below:

Step 1: Press Windows + X (hotkeys)

 

 

Step 2: Select System. Under Related settings choose Advanced system settings

 

Step 3: Go to Hardware tab. In category Device Installation Settings click Device Installation Settings
