I’ve encounter Error number: 0×80070424 in Windows Update on one of my PC. If you have 0×80070424 i guess you will not able to perform any windows update including using the windows update website. After googling a while i found that Error number: 0×80070424 in Windows Update is caused by some of the dll registration problem.
To solve the Error number: 0×80070424 in Windows Update follow the steps below:-
- Click on Start -> Run
- and paste the command below and enter
%SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\REGSVR32.EXE %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\WUAUENG.DLL
This line use to reregistering WUAUENG.DLL in window.
- You are done! Launch your windows update again, you should be able to perform update now.
It works!!!!!. Thank you, very much
Worked, been looking for a soloution for ages! Thanks!
I have windows vista 64 and simply registering the dll files did not work for me. I was missing the “windows Modules installer”. I found this page and followed the instructions under scenario III.

paste in
regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll
worked for me
still not working…pls i need help..
nothing works for me the error is still there im on vista x64 sp1
if none of these work, i found a fix that does it for me…… open security centre, and click ‘change settings’…. uncheck the box marked ‘use microsoft update’ and confirm the change. run update, then go back and re-apply the software by clicking the yellow box which offers updates on other products. i’m on vista ultimate pro sp1, and this is the only fix i found anywhere that actually works…. there’s also the plus point that anyone can do it, using the vista platform rather than the ‘semi-code’ in the background.
this thing works for me! to vista users, try open start, all programs, accesories, right click command prompt and open as administrator, copy- paste the command given in the solution and press enter. GOD bless.
worked for me:D
thanks
