Error Code 80240020 is related to unfinished or corrupted download which is very common problem if you are upgrading online. This error can occur with interrupted internet connection, blocking data by anti-virus or firewall on user’s computer.
To solve this problem, you need to delete previously downloaded files from your computer so Windows Updated can download the clean files for you.
Solution:
- Go to “C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download” and delete all files in that folder.
- Run the command prompt as administrator and run “wuauclt.exe /updatenow” without quotes.
- Go to Control Panel -> Windows Update and your windows will start re-downloading the update files.
If you are getting error code 80240439 after following these steps, try disabling your anti-virus software and firewall.

Users can also download from Official Microsoft Download and start the process manually.
