Preview Build failed to download 0x80246018

Running Windows Technical Preview for Enterprise Build 9841.  After I enabled the Preview Builds option in Update and Recovery, I attempted to download Build 9860 but received the error "Failed to download the new preview build, please
try again later. 0x80246018"
Cannot find any descriptions for that error online.  Hoping someone else has faced and solved this.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi all,
Please check the event viewer or windowsupdate.log, there we may find the error description for the download failure
In current time, try to delete the SoftwareDistribution folder and restart the download for a check.

Hey, I have been experiencing a similar error after rebuilding my machine with the technical preview.  Yesterday, I blew out the SoftwareDistribution folder and restarted the Windows Update service to no avail.  Standard
security patches apply but it fails to apply the build update.  The error that I have is SLIGHTLY different from this one but the root cause may be similar.  It appears to be looking for an updated key before it will download the update. 
Here are the entries from my last attempt from the WindowsUpdate.log:

    As ever would be nice to hear from MS on this.

    Hi,
    This seems to be the issue with the server side and should be fixed already.

    In PC Settings\Preview Build I get this error as a result after trying to install the new update:

    Hi,
    Did you find the error during downloading or installing process? Have you cleared the SoftwareDistribution folder and check the issue again?
    It would be better if you can check the event viewer and windowsupdate.log (%windir%\Windowsupdate.log), find related information, upload the log to OneDrive for further analysis.

    Build 9879
    any suggestions?

    Hi threeeye,
    Let’s make things clear first, your OS should be 9879 build now, right? The thing you want to do is to check the Windows Update not the new build, right?
    What’s the regular windows update?
    Do you mean the traditional Windows Update application?
    For now, I would suggest your run the Windows Update troubleshooter to repair this issue, it would reset windows update settings:
    If I misunderstand anything, please feel free to let me know.

  • (Current Build: 9841) PC Settings - Preview Builds - Download Now - Failed to download new preview build, please try again later. 0x80246017

    Hey ,
    I hope someone can help.. been trying to upgrade from 9841 to 9860 for the last few days.. and I cant seem to get the preview build download part to work..
    Seems like "80246017 Flight Settings Failure Content Download Error: Download failed" is the main error (more logs below)
    And it doesn't seem like(from other blog posts) there are any manual downloads (ISO, .EXE's) so I'm stuck.
    I know I could possibly do a full "clean" re-install of 9841 and then upgrade to 9860 but I really want to find out why its not working..

    Hi,
    I had this same issue and tried many things to fix it. I finally found a fix with a small registry edit.
    Open command prompt under admin and follow these steps (which I found here: 
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_tp-winipp/error-code-0x80246017-when-trying-to-download-new/b188df4f-8e7a-443a-b584-61c4d59407d8)
    reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability" /v "BranchName" /d "fbl_release" /t REG_SZ
    /f
    reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability" /v "ThresholdRiskLevel" /d "low" /t REG_SZ /f
    reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability" /v "ThresholdInternal" /f
    reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability" /v "ThresholdOptedIn" /f
    After you have done that open regedit and navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability
    If there is a folder called "recovered from" delete it. Then open up Windows Update in PC settings and go to preview builds and click Check Now
    This worked for me. Hopes it works for you to.

  • Failed to download new preview build, please try again later 0x80080008

    I have seen a lot of this going round lately, currently im stuck on build 9841, unable to update to a new build with error in the title, which as of writting I havent found a thread with my specific error code.
    Been trying to update for a week, same error code, everyday. I apologise in advance if someone has in fact reported this error code in relation to these preview builds.

    When you face this problem, please report it through Feedback form and then run Windows Update and install all updates (if any) and then restart your PC and try run and install the build again.

  • Failed to Install The New Preview Build. Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.

    Hello,
    I'm having issues upgrading my Windows 10 Technical Preview installation build 9879 to a newer build that's become available late January 23rd.
    I am installing the new upgrade in a Hyper-V virtual machine and get the following error:
    Failed to install the new preview build, please try again later. 0x80246007
    What could be the problem?
    Previously I've had messages that Windows cannot be upgraded on a computer with less than 2 Gbyte of RAM. That's a Hyper-V VM with dynamic memory and I was highly surprised to see this error; never had this before. Had to set 2048 Mbytes as a minimum memory
    for this VM. Now that I have this 80246007 error code.
    When looking up System log, the following error messages are listed multiple times:
    Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.
    The errors are returned for the Event ID 20 by WindowsUpdateClient
    in task category Windows Update Agent..
    I reviewed the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability
    registry key as suggested in Windows
    Insider stuck on build 9841 - "No new preview build was found", and here is what it shows:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability]
    "BranchName"="fbl_awesome1501"
    "ThresholdRiskLevel"="low"
    "ThresholdOptedin"=dword:00000001
    Note, when attempting to install the downloaded update from a native boot, installation starts with no errors.
    However, since setup is not supported for a natively booted VHD files, it does not proceed further showing a message that installation on virtual drives is not supported.  
    Looks like Setup is having problems installing in a Hyper-V virtual machine.
    Possibly, some ESD files got corrupted during downloading? Is it possible to remove them and re-download missing files? (I, however, noticed that Windows seems to re-download upgrade files after you restart 9879 and attempt to check for a new build.
    Any clue why installing under VM causes 9926 to fail?
    Thank you in advance.
    Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

    Hi,
    According to the error message, this problem seems like update package installation failed during system upgrade.
    You can try to remove ESD file which locate at boot of C drive and upgrade the system again for test.
    On the other hand, make sure the system 9879 installed all Windows pushed updates before system upgrade.

  • Failed to install the new preview build, please try again later 0xC1900204

    I upgraded in-place from Windows 8.1 to Build 9926. I am unable to upgrade past 9926.
    Windows Update finds the new preview build on both fast and slow rings. It downloads it successfully. Upon attempting to install, it fails.
    I get a screen overlay with the message: 
       Can't update to Windows 10 Technical Preview
       Sorry, it looks like this PC can't run Windows 10 Technical Preview. This might be because the Users or Program Files folder is being redirected to another partition.
    Closing the overlay and returning to the "Update & recovery" screen, I see the error in red: Failed to install the new preview build, please try again later 0xC1900204

    Hi Isilverman,
    As we have Windows 10 install Media available at hand, might we consider to do a dual boot of Windows 10 and Windows 8.1?
    Based on the information you posted, it seems to be that the current Windows 8.1 environment is not suitable to do an Upgrade.
    Another thing I would like to share is the information listed in the thread below:

    I am currently running build 9841. When I try to install the new preview build I get the following error

    I have installed all updates and I am a full administrator of this machine.  If someone could fix this I would be very happy.

    Hi bgelbach,
    Have you downloaded the 9879 build?
    Before Windows setup runs, it would do some check on perquisites, one thing is space check.
    When the new build is downloaded, it is located under C:\windows\software distribution\download
     folder, which is about 2.7G. Make sure you have enough space for installation.
    If everything goes well, it would extract files to C:\$WINDOWS.~BT folder.

    Attempting to update the preview build form 9860 yields error 0x80070003.
    How do I update the preview build?

    Here is the link to download the latest (9879) build ISO.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-iso-update?os=win10
    Burn the ISO file to a bootable DVD, and use the DVD to do a clean install.
    Use the Windows7 USB?DVD Download Tool to burn the ISO file. Don't be concern about the words "Windows 7 ". It will work. I use it countless times on various ISO files.

    Failed to install the new preview build, please try again later. 0xC1900107
    I don't find any reference to that error code. I've seen similar reports in the forum, but with different error codes and with the message "Failed to upgrade" rather than "Failed to install". I haven't played with the reg keys on this
    system.
    The event viewer shows the following event:

    The upgrade to a non-Enterprise device started at the same time went through without problems.

    Hi Russell,
    What’s the situation now?
    There would be a cause that the upgrade is running background, so a retry would fail in this situation.
    You can check the action log  in C:\$Windows.~BT\source\panther\setupact.log
    Check the time line to see if it is running for upgrade.

  • Update Operation Fatal Error when installing Technical Preview Build 10041 Upgrade

    I posted this in the Microsoft Community forums and was redirected here.
    Below is the original post (URL: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_install/update-operation-fatal-error-when-installing/6eaff1b9-0223-4357-afc8-884382590e82 )
    Hello,
    In trying to perform an upgrade install of the Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 10041 (as is the latest available for direct download as of my writing), I am running into a problem I cannot find mention of anywhere else on the web.
    I fall into two categories with regards to this build: A) Product tester who actually needs to test application performance under Windows 10 on bare metal, B) Semi-crazy techie who loves using (usable) beta software as his primary environment ;)
    so it is rather important to me that I get this working on my machine in some non-virtualized respect. I am reluctant to do a full/fresh install if installation problems are happening, because my Windows 8 product key has been f***ed up from the
    start (likely some random database corruption) and I've had to utilize phone support to get around an "unknown error" the last two times I've had to use it. So, for fear of that key completely crapping out on me, I don't want to move to Win10 unless
    I'm confident it will install and I can stick with it (for better or worse) through the end. Problems within the Preview after I install it I can deal with.
    So, I first tried to install the Preview through the standard Windows Update method. The installer took about 7 hours (but from reading lots of internet discussions, stupidly long install times in that range seem to be a common problem with
    this builds separate from it actually failing). During the reboot between the "Setting up Devices" (Or is it Setting up Drivers? I forget) and "Taking Care of a Few More Things" (Again, possibly paraphrased), for about a split second, underneath
    the Windows logo and throbber, some error like this appeared:
    Fatal Error Performing Update Operation # of ##: ERROR CODE
    It only appeared for a fraction of a second, and I had no chance of reading the precise numbers or error.
    However, the installer then seemed to continue, and went until the main circle was at 100%. As soon as 100% hit, however, the screen went black for something like 30min. Then, I briefly saw "Attempting to recover installation" before "Restoring
    your previous version of Windows." And I was, quite impressively considering how far along that installer was, back in Windows 8.1 completely unharmed.
    I tried again by burning an ISO and doing a disc upgrade install. I let that one run overnight and was asleep for the error, but I was back in Win8.1 in the morning, so I can only assume a similar thing happened there.
    As for my system specs, I'm running on a MacBook Pro 9,1 under Boot Camp. I am upgrading from Windows 8.1.2 Pro with Media Center. I have found other online accounts of people quite successfully installing Windows 10 on Macs, so that isn't the issue.
    Does anyone have any clue as to what this error might have been/be, and how I might fix it? Or at least have it on good authority that a fresh installation would be unaffected (meaning it's software-related)? If not, I can try installing to a VHD,
    which would at least let me product test on bare metal, but wouldn't have the harddrive space to be my daily driver and would probably only get used occasionally.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
    So far, I have the yet-to-be-tried idea of a clean boot prior to installation.
    If anyone here has any more specific ideas, lemme hear 'em.
    Thanks!

    To the individual who proposed this as an answer to my problem: It's not even applicable. I specifically stated that I was trying to avoid doing a clean installation (at least without knowing more about the problem at hand). An answer saying to do the thing
    you're trying to avoid doing is not an answer. You can see my last reply for the current status of this issue. 6-8 hour blocks of time in which I can't use my computer (as is required to install build 10041) aren't super common for me, but I haven't abandoned
    this thread. There have simply been no more updates. If your motivation as a mod was that you simply don't like there being unanswered threads on this forum, then perhaps you could attempt to contribute rather than arbitrarily marking the first reply as an
    answer.
    I will continue to update this thread as I try new things and get more information.
    Thank you.

  • Windows 10 Preview update fails 0x8046017

    Update is been failing since a couple of days. here are a couple of screen captures:
    Sincerely, Manny A.

    Actually the one that failed to get installed was a new build that was NOT supposed to be for general public.
    What happened was that MS has been sending new builds to MSFT ( MS employees ) for testing. Somehow mistake was made and the builds were "exposed" to Windows Update. But those "exposed" builds will not get installed and therefore you
    see the error message and the error code.
    Here is the direct copy regarding this matter.......
    From Insider Hub:
    Windows Insiders who have installed
    KB3035129may see reports in the Settings app under Update & recovery that a new preview build is available.
    Attempts to download the new build result in Error 0x80246017.
    KB3035129 included a code change which unintentionally had the side effect of changing targeting for builds, allowing builds that are exclusive to Microsoft employees to appear available.
    No new builds are available which are newer than 9926 at this point. We will issue another update shortly to correct the issue
    and ensure that Windows Insiders are able to successfully get the next build which is made available to you. We apologize for the confusion and thank you for your continued participation and feedback.
    ..........................................................end of the copy...............................................
    There is nothing to be concerned of. The Windows Updates that are meant for us will get installed automatically, and those "exposed" new builds will get rejected and you will see that error code until MS sort it out.

  • Lenovo System Update 5.0.3 failes to download packages

    Hello, 
    SU shows an error dialog saying "An error occurred while downloading packages.".
    I reinstalled SU and Solution Center and updated BIOS. But it still does not work...
    I checked several posts in this community.
    System Update fails to download updates
    Lenovo System Update 5.03 on T430u doesn't report software updates
    And I knew that tvsu_log_xxx.txt has important information for debugging.
    It turned out that SU failed to download "HelloLevel_9_08_00.xml" for the following reason.
    "An error ocurred while setting the digital certificates for this download"
    What is this? Do the digital certificates mean SSL certificate?
    Anyone know how to solve this?
    Regards,
    Yusuke Yamasaki
