Windows 10 ver. 1607 on a 5 year old e-machine will not update.<br />

This system had the same error under Win 7 and Win 10 upgrade and now version 1607.<br />

The PC seems to run well and is clear of malware, plays video. &nbsp;Have researched several different fixes including &nbsp;Shut down the 3 services and restarted. &nbsp;clearing the download folder in Software Distribution, &nbsp; &nbsp;Ran several Microsoft FixIt's. &nbsp;And tried the upgrade to 1607 and none of those have made a difference.<br />

When I run &quot;check for updates&quot; it responds with the error message &quot;&nbsp;there has been a problem with installing updates, we'll try again later. error 0x8024002e&quot;
