I encountered an error during the Windows Update which was ongoing perfectly unless the error occurred suddenly. The error states windows update error code 80200010.
Can I solve such type of error manually without contacting the service administrator?
If yes, please provide a suitable solution for this.
Just follow these steps mentioned below to fix your issue.
1. Most importantly, make sure first that you have an internet connection.
2. Then, clear the BITS queue from your system.
To do that:
1. Just open notepad in your computer.
2. Now, type as follows:
For Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, or Windows XP
net stop bits
net stop wuauserv
Ipconfig /flushdns
cd c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
del qmgr0.dat
del qmgr1.dat
net start bits
net start wuauserv
You normally receive “error 0x80200010” when you run Windows Update and it happens because the BITS or the Background Intelligent Transfer Service doesn’t receive a content link header. The error can also be triggered if you use a proxy that doesn’t support HTTP/1.1 protocol. If you encounter this error, first thing to do is to check if your internet connection is working.
Open any of your web browsers and connect to a website. If you can surf different websites, try installing the update again. If this doesn’t work, you need to try to clear the BITS queue of any existing jobs. Start Notepad and copy/paste the following:
net stop bits
net stop wuauserv
Ipconfig /flushdns
cd “Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader”
del qmgr0.dat
del qmgr1.dat
net start bits
net start wuauserv
After this, save the file to your desktop as “clear.bat”. In Notepad, click “File” then “Save As” and then type without quotes “clear.bat”. In “Save as type”, select “All Files” then click “Save”. Now, double-click the “clear.bat” file on your desktop. This will clear the BITS queue. After this, try installing the update again and see if it works.
