I have 27 workstations on which KB4025342 is failing to install. The update is offered via WSUS, but if I check directly from Microsoft, it doesn’t see an update available.

I’ve run the built-in “Troubleshooting” wizard, fixed whatever it found, rebooted: same problem.

I’ve run this script and rebooted: same problem.

Judging from the 5 pages of responses here it looks like I’m not alone - but I’ve yet to find a working solution. Has anybody here run into this problem?

via Get-WindowsUpdateLog I found this:

Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80248007: 2017-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1703 for x64-based Systems (KB4025342)

So I just manually tried this:

stop Windows Update service

Delete contents of c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore and Download

start Windows Update service

and voiala - it worked.

I deployed that via script to a test workstation and it appears to be installing the update successfully now too.

net stop wuauserv
del /f /s /q C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\*.*
del /f /s /q C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\*.*
net start wuauserv
wuauclt /detectnow /reportnow

This did not work for me. I have tried just about every fix proposed on the Internet and nothing seems to work. Microsoft really screwed the pooch on this update.

Same here.

If you do get it working James, please post here. I will do likewise.

The patch worked for my computer. Before I applied it, I ran the Windows Updater Troubleshooter, and it seemed to repair some registry issues… however, this fix on its own did not allow the update to run… After I applied the patch, the update completed OK.

HOWEVER, the fix apparently wiped out my Windows Update History… IS there any way to restore my Update History?
