i was unable to update patches for march. somewhere i got an error of 8024800a. i found an answer that said":



will give you step by step instructions to get the issue fixed.
a) Click on “Start” and type “cmd” (without the quotations).
b) When you see the “cmd” icon, Right Click on it and select “Run as administrator”.
c) On the open Command Prompt window copy and paste the commands (all at once) –
net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
ren C:WindowsSoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
ren C:WindowsSystem32catroot2 catroot2.old
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver
pause
d) Wait for the process to complete.
e) Close the Command Prompt.
Now, go to Windows Update and try installing the updates. Check if it helps.

i did this and i still cannot download patches.
