<\/p>\n
Searching the web leads to the recommendation, to check Windows for system file integrity (as I has shown within blog post Check and repair Windows system files and component store<\/a>. But this won't work in Windows 10 Version 1703 (see my notes below). <\/p>\n I mentioned some details within this Microsoft Answers forum thread<\/a>. Error 0x80240437 stands for WU_E_PT_SECURITY_VERIFICATION_FAILURE (see also my blog post Windows: How to decode update 0x8024\u2026. errors<\/a>). There is a problem with authorization of update service. Maybe Windows component store is damaged, maybe something else is broken. <\/p>\n The best attempt will be, to use the instruction given within the blog post Check and repair Windows system files and component store<\/a>. Unfortunately, Windows 10 V1703 has been shipped with damaged system files, so dism fails with an error 0x800F081F. <\/p>\n A possible workaround could be my blog post Windows 10 V1703: Fix for DISM error 0x800F081F<\/a> to resolve the broken manifest issue. And after the image has been fixed, use dism to repair Windows component store. <\/p>\n If a check and repair of Windows component store doesn't help, try to reset Windows component store. Many users will us Microsofts Windows Update trouble shooter latestwu.diagcab<\/em> (see Windows 10: New update troubleshooter app and site<\/a>). If that didn't work, try the steps below: <\/p>\n 1. Open an administrative command prompt window (enter cmd <\/em>in search box and use context menu command Run as administrator<\/em>). <\/p>\n 2. Execute the commands listed below.<\/p>\n net stop wuauserv The rename folder C:\\Windows\\SoftwareDistribution<\/em> to SoftwareDistribution.old<\/em> and also folder catroot2 <\/em>to catroot2.old<\/em>. Then restart Windows and try Windows Update again. <\/p>\n Error 0x80240437 can also be caused by wrong date, time or time zone. Also third party firewalls, antivirus products and VPN software has been identified as a root cause. <\/p>\n Within this US Microsoft Answers forum thread<\/a> a user reported, that Kaspersky security products may cause this behavior and suggested how to solve the issue. <\/p>\n If error 0x80240437 occurs during app install from Windows Store, try to reset store (cache). Press Windows+R <\/em>and enter wsreset.exe <\/em>into the Run <\/em>dialog box. This clears the Windows Store cache. Also re-registering manifest files via PowerShell has been proposed<\/a>, and I read, that network adapter problems has been identified as a root cause. <\/p>\n Similar articles Some Windows 10 users are receiving an update error 0x80240437 installing an update via Windows Update or using Windows Store to update an app. Here are a few hints how to solve this issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,2],"tags":[808,195,76],"class_list":["post-2760","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-update","category-windows","tag-error-0x80240437","tag-update","tag-windows-10"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2760","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2760"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2760\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2760"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2760"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}I stumbled upon this error the first time within this Microsoft Answers forum thread<\/a>.
