The Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) is intended to clean Windows from existing malware during an update installation. Actually a good thing, but MSRT seems to be a nasty beast, see also my blog post <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2017\/04\/13\/issued-with-update-kb890830-microsoft-removal-tool\/\">Issues with Update KB890830 (Windows Malicious Removal Tool)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Update <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catalog.update.microsoft.com\/Search.aspx?q=kb890830\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KB890830<\/a>, released November 14, 2017 has some flaws.

Error 0x8024001E stands for WU_E_SERVICE_STOP (Operation did not complete because the service or system was being shut down). In normal cases I would blame third party antivirus products.
